Whew now thats alot of fish!

Had first time guest Melvin, Jerry and Darren for a little morning trip Fish have been right where I have been catching them for 2 weeks Started out throwing 4in Sassy Nanners but had to quickly down size to the 3 in CO-CO -MOE's ... they wanted the smaller bait today for some reason Nothing like Hybrids stripping line on a spinning reel !!!! If I can only get my guest to realize that lure head will not fit through that little eye on the rod we could be ok.. I bet we have lost 20 hybrids because of this problem the last week or so Catching was great but soon the Friday 13th jinx set in.. I threw my $300.00 dollar Doybin and Revo combo over the side of the boat I guess the lure wrapped around the eye and I threw it.. and looked as it hit the water and sank like a rock !!!! grabbed another rod with a 2 oz fiesta but it was gone, tried for a few minutes but no luck... It just came out of my hands.. dont know why .. but we did manage more fish after that Then when I got back to CHANDLERS MARINA I went to set up my stuff, power was locked... It took me forever to hunt down the manager , THE NEW ONES, and he informed me that I could NOT clean my fish at his marina anymore, even though I pay an annual launch fee.. I talked him into letting me one more time so I could clean my guest fish.. apparently they DONT LIKE FISHERMAN anymore with the new owners and only $500,000.00 dollar boats and sail boats.. so , luckily my annual pass expire next month and will take my business to Harbor Bay Marina.. I talked to JOE, the manager and he WELCOMES fisherman there.. So if anybody need to launch go there ok, over my rant.. all fish caught on Lures from www.moestackleshop.com in various depths of water.. After that I meet the guys at Harbor Bay, Frank,Superduck, Terry and Ray..VIP , Fillet Maker, Seapro , Bombbay , Rat Trap, Tall Bald Guy and others and ate a little fish.. thanks guys for the welcome and good seeing everybody....









Look at the shad in this hybrids belly.. almost all of them where chowing down

I have next Friday open if anybody is interested ... just give me a call or email

Well darn, guess you gotta take it like a man and buy a sailboat, you'll need one tomorrow anyway

That sucks about Chandlers. I mentioned to the new owner when I bought my annual pass earlier this year about building a fish cleaning station, he turned his nose up about it. This may be my last year there.

Fishing was pretty good today I thought but, when we got back to Chandler' and saw what Varner brought in we had a slow day. NICE FISH !!!

That boat looks too clean.

I hate to hear that John, I really like chandlers set up and ramp. Harbor bay ramp is so dang steep! I've put in many time over there so no biggie. My trailor actually rubs the concrete cause such a steep drop. Doesn't bother me, but freaks anyone else out standing around.

Glad you had a good outing, and then hooked up with the gang!

Good fishin
Mike

Yeah, Proline 19 filled me in on the Chandler details at work the other day. After John's Sand Bass tournament this year, no more tournaments out of Chandler's, none, zip, nada, zero. Claims tournaments take up all the clients parking spaces. Maybe JP could buy the new owner out - JP's rich!

Looks like a great time on the lake. Nice catch. Good job.

nice catches

Great report Mr. Varner!! You guys killed the hybrids!!

-twin brother

Very nice fish and great pic of belly shad!

Good job J.V.....

Nice fish and report JV... It looked like you had some things on your mind yesterday and now I see why. I hate losing those rod/reels. I've actually put those floaters on mine after losing two combos last year. I've been at Harbor Bay 20+ years. I've spoken to the manager in the past about hosting some tournaments and as far as I've heard they run weekly bass tourneys out of there. So hopefully yours can move there next year. Joe is a great guy and just moved to working inside at Harbor Bay. I sent some plates of food over to the office people yesterday. Terry went in his outfit along with my wife. I'm sure that was a funny site!

Looks like a super time. Nice Catch!
