    Default They’re back


    A little. Now that the river has gone back down, things are returning to normal. Took the trolling spread out and loaded up the light gear and headed out yesterday. I found some small gills and one good one that ran in circles for a while before he met the net. A 12” LMB made the show late in the trip too, they’re always fun on 2lb. Other than that I spent my time with about 2 dozen crappie that were hungry, thumpin the jigs like their bigger cousins. 5 would have gone 12” and gave a good accounting of themselves. Looking forward to the next few weeks as they come back in where they belong. No pics and more to follow, thankfully, I hope.

    Glad they're back. I'm fishless in 2021. By this time last year, I had pulled in more than 100!

    I know you're happy about the river getting right. It's been a long time coming. The small stuff is going to start producing bigger and better. Looking forward to some pictures and stories.

    Thanks everyone. I’ve trolled up a bunch but that isn’t what it was a month ago. Took some friends and had a few good times.

    Ketchn, the boys have their suits on so I would say you are right. Next trip is into some spawning areas from past years.

    I might not get any pics for y’all this weekend. I have recently stumbled into a 16’ Jon that I’ve been looking for forever. Piece by piece I’m getting it set up, TM already in place. Going to go and look at and hopefully, bring home a 15hp motor for it tomorrow. Down side is it’s a two hour drive. Excited about it, very clean northern motor. I won’t fish from it for a few weeks yet, I think, but I’ll introduce her to you when I do. Her name is Friday, as she was acquired on Black Friday. Not soon enough, but soon...........
