Got to the water at 7ish and put in the boat and headed right over to Hole #1. Wouldn't you know it there was already a boat fishing there. but it was Yellburt and his buddy, so we had a good time tag teaming the crappie.<br />I was teaching "the system" to Brandon and he caught on right away and continued to catch the most today.<br /> emoThumbsup <br />We were in the rollers with the wind at gale force almost and the trolling motor spent a lot of time beating dry air.<br />The decks were soaked with the wave wash and we were constantly trying to stay in a calmish water so we could control the boat. The boat has only been out 4 times, so B had to fight it and try to get used to operating under high power and torque. Kinda funny to watch as he tried to keep his balance on left-right corrections.<br />Started on BG bleeding shad with a tail light and later found that color was incidental.<br />16 heads were best, but I got some nice ones on 32 as well.<br /> emoAngler <br />No pics as we were in training mode, but B landed a big perch and we kept some 13s for YB and his partner Danny.<br />I mean rough!! it was offset by the fact that we were catching fish constantly with only a few slow times in between the fun.<br />B is an excellent fisherman and really fell in love with shooting style and didn't cast all day.<br />He has a lot to learn, but he is very capable of being one of the good ones at this method.<br />No pics as I said before, but we had a grand time and I hope he invites me back soon as my fishing partner's boat is getting a new transom!<br />Thanks for reading as we almost called off the day because of the wind, but the cave lake is a good place for me to fish and we were partially protected from the worst of the whitecaps. <br />BTW watched a guy fishing a big weight with a brushhog and lizards tearing up some fine bass from the bank.<br />He must have caught about twenty really nice fish.<br />Also our count was 49 crappie with a perch, a couple of gills, a few LM, and spots, and white bass. emoApplause emoDance <br />Did you know it was windy yesterday? emoEek
