Thread: Dinner maybe?

A good sized front is supposed to be passing through and sometimes the fish feed hard as it arrives. I slept in and didn’t get out of bed til after 7, very late for me. Probably dropped in around 9 and it was windy. The Nanofil got blown around bad today, and I had to focus on line control if I wanted to feel what’s going on. But it worked. I wanted some fresh fillets for dinner and while I really had to work at em, I found enough for mom and I to have a good dinner and maybe some leftovers. Now those were crappie, but the star fighters today were the coppernose visitors I had. I could tell what they were right after the first hit, and they all went back for another time.



Now as you can see, I had to put down the Nanofil and pick up the 4lb and a 1/32 to get things done. I switched back and forth some, and tusseled with a couple of cats. One slimed my line before he said goodbye unseen and the other unceremoniously pulled three times, wrapped me around something and broke my line, which I didn’t retie. Felt pretty large from the pulls and head shakes, and I had absolutely no control of him. You know conditions are tough when I break out the cheap rigs and heavy ( 4lb) line. Thanks for coming along. Dinner will be tomorrow and I’m looking forward to it as it’s been a minute since I’ve cooked any. Here’s one more pic of an honorable mention, and he wasn’t the smallest. The little one was a Warmouth that was sub 3” that hit the little jigs on the braid. I didn’t get his pic but it looked like one of Gillchasers friends he shows sometimes. Hope y’all get out soon….

Oh man those coppernose look awesome. Those would be a lot of fun even if you hadn’t caught any crappie but I’m glad dinner will be served soon. Congrats on a fun trip!
