<br /> A few days for catch up<br /> I was using BG full moon as a go-to color in bs and ss<br /> I have tried to switch my jigs to all #2&#39;s on the hook side and I think it helps esp for the bigger fish.<br /> <br /> I had a real good day with 17 keepers and one tarp<br /> I fished vertical structure and deep rock piles and some planted brush piles, mainly because of the fog.<br /> Total fish was 41 with a good many boat paddles and greenheads or TGF.<br /> <br /> The next day was fun with my partner on the Nick (I didn&#39;t want to go)<br /> I had found a few places to fish, but he wanted to fish early and then watch cars turn left and go fast on tv. (I like to call that my NASCAR Nap emoSleepy )<br /> We had 20 big fish and not but about 6 tb&#39;s<br /> Partner also caught a nice spot near 2 lbs<br /> Fun!!<br /> <br /> Dickey and I made the next trip and it was reported well by him on another thread<br /> <br /> This week, I went to new places and ran out of my fav color so I had switched to what I learned on...crystal<br /> With or without a tail light this one was working well in both lakes.<br /> My thing was to fish shallow early and then if the bite dropped off, go down another count each time to find the new depth.<br /> When I moved to other areas the depth stayed constant as the place I was at before.<br /> Fun times..until yesterday emoHoppingmad <br /> I was getting out at the ramp and had driven the trailer into the water and was about to drive on when I noticed my bunks were not right.<br /> The left bunk was hanging loose with only the front lag (of three) was the only bolt present. Somehow, somewhere the other 2 had fallen out.<br /> <br /> I called Hippy to see if he could help after calling, Glen, Island Cove, Towboat and my wife to let her know I would be late.<br /> He came over and luckily I had my wrench kit with me. He helped me by us taking the center bolt out of the good side and anchoring the other bunk at the rear.<br /> 4 bolts and a prayer and we got it on the trailer.<br /> We will install the new bolts today after going fishing<br /> Had three tarps and hoping for more <br /><br /> So there<br /> Still having fun fishing emoThumbsup <br /> <br /> emoCool <br />
