What a day!! emoCool <br />df called me yesterday just as I was setting up a siding job for him with my landlady. How ironic is that?<br />He wanted to catch some freezer fodder and invited me to fish this morning. emoHungry <br />So we got off the ramp just before dk and tf and hit some local brush before running out into the fog emoGeezer <br />After picking on the local fish we decided to go up the river into new and old places.<br />We caught fish on 1/16 mostly and just a few little ones on 1/32, so the sweet 16 was the preferred size jig. We caught fish at all depths, but 12 to 20 seemed the best.<br />Tried various colors, but the crystal and patriot worked best for me and I had a tail light on them in the beginning, but after re-tying and using a new BG, I wanted to try it without the dip and it was on!<br /><br />Got my 5th TARP and I was so happy and then we went to a spot that I was very comfortable with as most of my fish had been caught in the same place, same type of fishing, but in a different lake. <br /><br />Hooray!! a great day for me as I got another TARP as well as some fine keepers!<br />This was shaping up to be one of my best days for size and I was shaking and excited. emoDance <br /><br />Then we went to a spot and saw Labman and his partner Jerry on it and fished nearby where I had gotten the second TARP. We decided to leave the area to them and moved to another of my favorite spots where a guy was on before.<br />Well he had left it to us and we got on some fine keepers and I got my HOF TARP right there.<br />I begged my partner to let me catch a few more before we left and he agreed. emoThanks <br /><br />I conservatively boated over 44 crappie and a red eye emoAngler We had about 60 altogether.<br /><br />One of my best days and I thank df for taking me, now I hope we can do that again cause I sure can stand it emoApplause <br /><br />We saw about 4 deer swimming and hawks galore and the beautiful colors and we were so happy to be able to be out in this nature today<br />Here are pics the last two are of my HOF emoUSA
