wonder how that would go ?
do you suppose the ghost minnow could out run them ?
or maybe the ghost minnow could just jump over them ?
possibly in the wind and waves the ghost minnow could slip by undetected ?
who would win such an epic battle ?
would the gulls swoop in and distract the crappie and or ghost minnow
could the ever dreaded water coyote (cormorant) get in the mix as well
could the crappie possibly speed up and run down the ghost minnow ?
what I would give to see such an epic battle I tell ya
of course we ALL know how its gunna end up ...right ?
....THE SS GHOST MINNOW WINS !!!!
and for sure
K A B O O M

Weather was just right for a paddle powered boat ride. I did a little of that myself yesterday, at Holiday Marina, when the boat wouldn't start.

had starter problems right off the bat with the new SS GHOST MINNOW
right when I picked up the paddle my starter locked right up
and to say it takes a lot of paddling to make it go
well that's just an understatement for sure
and then add some wind ....oh my
so here is the fishy story ......
got the old/new to me Gibsons 10 foot SS GHOST MINNOW ready for the water
note the scratches right under the logo
I would almost swear one looks like a GHOST MINNOW

toss appropriate gear into said beast ....

didn't have the time to put on electronics
guess we go at em blind ?
kinda an ole school can you ketch a crappie without all the fancy equipment gig
well to be sure the first fish to find its way to us
WAS FOR SURE not a crappie !
we took 2 dozen minnows in the ghost minnow
and I set 2 over the side when we stopped paddling
a few seconds later "something" tries to take me and my rod over the side !!!
lasted a second till it straightened out my sickle hook like a sewing needle
my bud sez well I don't know what the heck that was
but FOR SURE WE DIDNT NEED IT in this little boat
we agree and continue to try to ketch a crappie
next fish ...NOT A CRAPPIE as well

but as the day progressed we DID in fact find some crappie

sure was fun playing like kids in that little thing
we will do it again soon I am sure
fish were in 12 or so foot of water
had to guess a bit on that part
not on structure we could feel with jigs though
NOTHING except the first bite hit a minner yesterday
did damage a few lips though
and released em to swim on
KABOOM

and yes if I was so inclined that there BLACK CRAPPIE pictured above was ...
YET ANOTHER LAKE RECORD !!!!
KA DA DA DA BING BANG BOOOOOOOOOM !!!!

Sounds like a lot of WORK! But I remember the days!!!!!!

Ketchn, Next thing Ya know we will start seeing you limiting out Jedi style with a blindfold on. Nice slabs!

Well I'll be you done went off and gone Gorilla style. Good spring boat buy there Ketch

Way to break it in!

You're using the wrong motor for the ghost minnow. You need to find a good, strong teenager who wants to learn how to fish for crappie to fish with you and be the motor.

Gee, That's too much work!

Nice Slabs!

you so don't wanna go and make me go find me a Gorilla mask sir

nor dress in total black and wear a blind fold either

Caught 150 sandbags Today need to get here .Mark

dang brother .....sounds like the eastern front is doing well

that there is funny ez
sure is nice to ketch sum crappie and slime up the new entry in the race aint it
she is gunna get her a work out I tell
and at her age she ALMOST didn't leak
that was sure a surprise I tell ya
