We launched the boat about 7:15 yesterday morning, and spent the day on Cedar Creek. We parked right next to Lane Palmer's rig, and when we came in to load up, Lane was busy cleaning a monster mess of crappie. We didn't catch nearly as many as he did, but we had a great day. Bobbi had never fished with a jig and bobber before, so first thing, I stopped at a nothing looking spot a ways in front my prime water, to show her how we were going to be using what was like a cane pole technique to catch fish. I figured that way, she could get in a few casts (or more accurately, flips, I guess) before we got to the thick cover where the fish really were.

I took the rod I had rigged for her, and described exactly what I was doing as I swung the jig and bobber out into the water. The instant the bobber hit the water, it shot under, and I reeled in a nice one pound female crappie. We laughed about that demo all day, and proceeded to catch a nice mess of fish. Shallow and muddy is a good pattern on Cedar Creek right now.

Nice post Bud. I've always enjoyed reading your post. I'll see back on the lake don't catch them all.

Good to hear from you Bud...so, if I get over that way are you ready to go fishing? If so, I will be making it happen REAL QUICK!

BTW, she is a much better looking fisher than you! But then I would be biased...
