<br /> Drove in the early AM hours to Chatt from FL on Wed and was wore out.<br /> <br /> Decided the only thing to do was to leave the boat hooked up and go fishing.<br /> So...Thursday I took a quick trip around some of the regular secret spots.<br /> I caught crappie in good numbers and a white bass and shellcrackers that were fat.<br /> Then I showed up at the 55&#43; crappieTX and saw some good friends there and caught up on what was happening in Chatt with the fishing.<br /> <br /> The next day, I was putting in and I saw William going with his bucket and rods to do some bank fishing in his fav spot. I asked if he would like to go with me and he asked if I had an extra life jacket...and I did.<br /> We headed up river to some nice open water spots and William proceeded to catch some nice crappie<br /> We ended up with 13 keepers and caught about 50 to 60 fish. Had a fun time watching William learn the dock-shooting basics.<br /> We were fishing near another guy who asked what we were doing and how to shoot.<br /> I gave him quick info and his first try, He HOOKED himself in the finger! He thought I had set him up, until I repeated my warning about leaving the hook forward. Before we left, he was doing very well and even caught a few.<br /> Sat was resting day.<br /> <br /> <br /> Yellburt and I went down to the Nick and did very well there with 21 keepers and a fat spot.<br /> Huddling under a bridge with about 350.000 dollars worth of bass boats hiding from the lightning and meeting the Nashville Bassers was ok, but when we got a short break, we pulled out and went home.<br /> <br /> <br /> Mon was fishing with Dan day and we had a ball. We went north and loaded up. 100&#43; day with about a double limit of keepers and a few strange fish thrown in.<br /> It was fun to fish with Dan again and we will do it again soon.<br /> Saw Eric again and let him know how we did. I didn&#39;t think I was exaggerating when I gave him my on-water report. (DK emoGeezer emoPoke ) <br /> <br /> <br /> Today was Tue and I thought, I aughta go fishing. So I did.<br /> Went downriver and tried old and new spots. The crappie were everywhere, but only one place held the large numbers today <br /> Caught 7 bass and around 40 crappie.<br /> Went home had lunch<br /> Water temps were 70 to 73 and most fish were on a 10 to 12 count with 1/16<br /> On 1/32 it was 15 to 20 count. Colors that were good were screamer.<br /> I am going to try to catch a nap so I can fish tomorrow it is nice to be back.<br /> <br /> Thanks for reading.<br /> I will post some pics from these days<br /> Also some pics from FL are thrown in as well <br /> <br /> emoCool <br />
