Thread: Lake Wylie Perch jerk part 2

thanks for coming over Ray. glad you and mr. munn had a good time at Wylie today we enjoyed talking and sharing a few laughs before fishing started we look forward to having you back real soon. (did you catch that big crappie on them pink minners you had? )


Ron and I did about the same as you Ron counted and I think he said 11 crappie and 12 perch and 3 nice cat fish biggest crappie being around 1 3/4 lb with a couple more around 1 1/2 lb. but it took us all day to do it. cant remember how many john said they had other then a good mess of crappie and w/p mix .
when you came by it was pick up one or two then a while till another one or two would bite so between bites Ron and I settled a lot of the world problems voted in a new prez and ruck John over the coals till his feet burned . I wont be at the get together but you ,John Stumpy and the rest of yall S.C. boys get on down there and stick it to them crackers and don't forget to spur um real good before they take off across the creek

Sounds like a fun day of catching some nice fish from all that were there. Ray congrats on the big crappie, I'm surprised it didn't weigh more being this time of year and still a awesome crappie!! Remus I hate you won't make it this year but you can rest a sure that them boys won't know what hit em
Thanks for the reports and pics. Ray that table is very nice!!!

Congrats on a great day! Also that work table is beautiful....sure you want to clean fish on it?

Glad you guys came up for some fun in the sun and wind. I lost sight of you up the creek and was hoping you were doing good. We fought the wind out in the open and got a few and lost a few. I think we did fairly good considering the elements. Robert and I had no where in particular to go so we hung out waiting and looking around. If the water were a different color and not so much wind I believe we all would have done a lot better. I don't know if you threw any back but we had quite a few. the Blue Herron's and the Osprey loved us. I am looking forward to the day we can come and visit with you at your home lake. Maybe next time you are up here we will have more fishermen on the lake with us.

Thanks. There was a bit of trickery involved with the table. My wife bought the table to use as a potting table, but what she thought was a solid surface top turned out to be pressed board with a plastic covering, which deterioated over time. I wanted a cleaning table with sink so I offered to make a nice oak top with a bar sink for her. She knew I was up to something but agreed so now we have a dual purpose table. A friend of mine does woodworking as a hobby so I knew the top would look pretty nice.(My wife knew he did good work so she was happy to agree.) It has 3 coats of exterior clear poly over 3 coats of stain, so I hope it holds up. We will use cutting boards to keep from scarring the coating.
Now I have to hook up the water and drain lines, but I have water at the back of the shop so it will be pretty simple.

Ray , You done went and caught a biggun ! Glad you guy's found some. We went all the way to the bridge and pulled jig's for bout an hour or so. Only one taker and lost it at the boat. Switched over to tight lines and started picking up a couple. Called Remus and he said after the BLUE GOO wore off Ron's minner's they was catchin a few. We moved up to where you saw us. Think Kurt said we caught 18 crappie but only eight keepers. A lot of perch and a 7-8 lb. blue cat that made a mess out of everything on one side of the boat. Good to see you again and your buddy. Hate he had to be seen with this crowd but it happens. Least the dog didnt bite him. Let us know when you want to fish your side of town. We can make the ride and you can show us the good spots. Pictures I got aint to good but maybe you can make out them two pirates we ran up on.

I guess y'all ain't figured out that I am coming to Wylie because I can't catch crappie on Murray. I caught more in these 2 trips than I've caught at Murray in 6 months. I can't make the things that work elsewhere work on Murray.
If you wanna come show me what I am doing wrong, come on, but don't say I did not warn you.
I ever put out some brush piles but have not caught any off them.
The most I have caught is fishing with other guys on their brush. Fising Murray for crappie just cuts my fanny.

great report, fancy looking table
