The day before, I was fishing and met a guy from Ohio who told me he and his wife were moving here and had just bought a house in Harrison Bay.<br /><br />I told him about the types of fishing and patterns some used here and invited him to fish and scout with me.<br />Well he took me up on it and we launched around 6:30AM.<br /><br />He likes to bass fish and asked about tournaments so I kept telling him to get on CFF.<br />He is an excellent fisherman, so I tried the crash course for the &quot;system&quot; on him.<br />Like a duck on a junebug!! He understood the shooting right away and the reason for the hi-viz line.<br />Hal, he was an advanced student like radio John, and soon he started catching fish.<br /><br />We fished lower lake and WT creek.<br />I gave him as much info as I could and never seemed to overload him.<br />He was like a sponge and then he was successful with catching a few good crappie from docks and bridges.<br /><br />We finished with about 28 crappie and late in the day decided to keep a few for his supper.<br />We quit at 1PM.<br /><br />A really good time with a new guy who is looking forward to making friends and fishing our area.<br />They are in the process of moving and hopefully he will join in here with us on CFF soon.<br /><br />pics are 1 a sweet day, 2 his first crappie on the &quot;system&quot; and 3 a nice un&#39;.<br /><br />Water was 78 degrees and we were all over as far as baits. Blue ghost with a tail light was the best for big fish, and we fished DEEP<br /><br /> emoCool
