Taylorsville 9/13/21

Got to the lake plenty early today only to find Possum Ridge loaded with 40 Monday morning Bass Tournament guys.
Took my time and waited for them to blast off. One bass guy said they would weigh in at 11:00 am.
After launching I headed to one of my spots and it was loaded. 11-12.5 FOW but holding in heavy brush. Caught several pretty quick single pole jigging and had 5 keepers by 9:30 or so. Bluegrass seemed to be the color but had to be tipped with a minnow. Water temp 78-79 and stained.
Buddy was pushing minnows and I took him to the northern part of the lake because he had never been there. I continued to single pole in shallow water while he pushed in 18-24 FOW.
He left without catching many all day and zero keepers. I intended to fish until dark but that all changed when I got a call from him.
He loaded his boat and got half way up the hill at Settlers and starboard trailer bearing went south.
I came off water to help him and gave my keepers to guy in pontoon that was keeping fish.
There he was on the shoulder.
Long story short, we went to parts store in Taylorsville and changed inner/outer bearings and races with limited tools. Just glad the bearings didn’t go out on the Gene Snider or 64 running 65mph.

Sounds like interesting day. Glad you caught some. Good thing helping your buddy too. Good job Chuck.

Seems trailer bearings never go out while a fella is still in the driveway

They never go out in a good place but I’ll take the parking lot over the freeway for sure. And at least parts were close by.

Several goods deeds done in one day to make folks happy. Crappie.com folks are hard to beat! :cheers2

Your buddy is lucky to have a friend like you!

Great post. I enjoy vertically jigging year round. Rarely catch the limit but usually get a mess.
Some days we fish. Some days we fix stuff. Always good to help someone out. Those are the best days! 🙏
