Simpleman and I got there at sunrise.It was our first time at Lavon, and it sure was cold.It seemed to get colder as the morning passed. We went to what seemed like all over that lake without success. The lake was rough and choppy. Water @ 47 degrees. Did anyone else bear the cold at Lavon? I hope tourney day goes better than today. Oh, I did manage one of these......

We were there, same results less the trash fish.....

It is so good to see any kind of fish in someones hands. Congrats on the good time fishing in the cold. Now that's showing us how you stay true to the Thump!!, Onewolf.

That was a nice trash fish 5 lb 12 oz but we would have traded it for a crappie any day.

You right about that. Oh well, We'll get'em next time......I hope.

I just hope the weather is nice for the tourney...but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

You did better than I did today. Nice trash fish!

Nice Green Crappie Frank! Did it make some nice fillets? I bet that was a blast on your crappie rig. Maybe you will fair better in the tourney.

Nice trash Frank! Yup, it was a cold one today.

Thanks guys,I guess it's better than nothing.Did ya'll guys get to do any fishing too? I was wondering if anybody slayed them today. I sure am icthin' to go in the morning, but I don't know if momma will allow 2 days in a row...or what lake ...LOL.

Yeah, went up to Texoma and that water was muddy as heck. Fished for 2 hours and caught 4 fish with 2 keepers. Had to knock them in the head. Momma is making me go to church in the morning so unfortunately no fishing tomorrow for me.

Mike and I saw them on the sonar but couldn't hold stll enough to catch 'em. Not just the wind, we were shaking in our boots.
Once my toes get cold, I'm done and they were very cold. I don't expect the tourney to be much better weather. Never is.
We could see our breath and I think I had a little frost on the moustach.

I will be bringing my electric gloves next time.

It's good to see you are back on the water Frank... worry about you for a while there, glad that you got the flu out of the way and after the slabs... it's gonna be good this coming Spring if you know Lavon..

Didn't go fishing today. I spent the day getting ready to take my nine year old dancing. Here in Garland We hold a Father/Daughter Sweetheart Shindig every year. I got to tell you folk this, seeing that little girl smile, beats Crappie fishing hands down. I guess you can say I was Staying true to the "Bump"!!, Onewolf.

At least you got a chance to see some crappie. I need to fish that big lake for sure.

I think I'll wear some extra socks and sweaters next time too. Toe's were hurting that's for sure. Gonna have to come up with a better game plan for the tourney....Back to the drawing board.
