I should have my boat legal by the end of the week.

You tell me when you can go, since it's hot we should try for the morning or late evening bite.

I would like to start by finding the right place for a crankbait.

Maybe pulling out to deep water and find a "alley" that runs along the edge of the weeds or a drop off. Find a crankbait that will run along the bottom all the way back to the boat. We know swimbaits and swimjigs can be run on the bottom pretty easy.

I also have a few drop shot tricks to try.

"I also have a few DROP SHOT tricks to try".

Don't say that word. HA.

haha

Im down im off the next three days when do you wanna go find that pig?

Still waiting for the paper work so I can get the tags.

well crapola let me know.

Direct boats said they mailed the paper work yesterday.

They shipped the boat from Georgia so I assume the paper work comes from there.

Well, I am definately game. I live in denton and dont get to fish too much like I would like to... but could probably swing an evening trip whenever I need to. I dont have too many bass gear if any, most of mine are for crappie and cats. I usually dont fish for bass for the simple reason that I want to eat what I catsh... that being said, I never stop hearing what good fun it is to feel a toad just wearing you out... I have my own poles, and mainly jigs... I put my boys down for bed around 6:30 or so, so anytime after that Im game.

Also, I didnt see that you have a motor... If you dont use a motor, you dont need to tag the boat. If you just use paddles, then you can go whenever you want... If you need a motor, I have a 45 or 55lb minkota in my closet at the house. I also have a bass buster, but its at my dads house up north. So, I dont mind bringing it out with me for some useage.

That sounds good, I will let you know when I go and you can just meet me at the pond.

I have a TM already, but thanks anyway.

Where did you catch them crappie at?

Any of you guys use hollow body swim baits?

Good 'ol honey hole. One of the rivers near denton... Ill have to show you some time, not too many people know of it, a little, but not like Old Alton.

I talked to a guy last night that caught a 17" crappie at that lake up by Walmart.

I got a pretty sweet crappie trick that I will show you.

I should get the paper work today.

I romance them with my "Ernie call".... Here fishy fishy fishy fishy fishy FISHYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!

I got the boat legal today.

I am going to hit the water in the morning at 6:30.

Let me know if you want to go.

Yall make a nice couple aw

Here is a cutie, first bass caught on the new boat.

That's a nice one. Where'd you go? I didn't get your message till today but im a mon. to fri. type of guy. I get to work at that time...busy this weekend but if you get a chance later next week, might just have to ask the wife... Evening is best for me.

We can do an evening bite next week.

I had eleven keepers this morning.

They were all about 18" or so, all were fat and happy.

I know one thing, if you use a swimjig remember that the bass might just hit it as you lift it outa the water next to the boat.

They will freak out as much as you do crashing in to the boat.

Also, dang near every fish today came outa the water at least once.

i am very interested in this also. have a pond of mine own to 'trade' locations with someone.

would prefer to throw back any fish we catch to keep pond fun, unless it's a monster

I went to a new pond today, I caught two bass, both 19" and fat. I found the creek channel in the middle of the pond and found both of them right on the edge of the drop.

I never keep any of the bass I catch, never have.

Now crappie on the other hand ...
