TOTALLY .....what the ....
is up with that anyway ?
I am so wonderin what the heck ....

been droppin em .....the bait fish need ta grow a bit ....
next month I bet ....ITS KABOOM time ....

thank ya ....we/I keep bream from remote areas frequently
I don't worry much about the skin on them that way ...
an sides they go fast on the filleting without tryin to take off that paper thin skin ....
a course it also helps lots to have a trained spooner at your side as well ....

so later in the day we went back to another area and assaulted another brush pile ....
13 to 18 fow drop off with brush on it .....
the bait was hangin roun a bit there ...
lil dime size shad ....
I took out a Silver Flash Mrs Tbox bait ....
the lil one ....put it on a 1/32 oz ball head ....
hit it once with sum shad oil spray ...

drop ...set hook repeat as needed ...
KABOOOM some more ....

it performed well for me later in the day ...
the lil Silver flash thingee .....
when the sun is up high that thing sparkles sumthin fierce ...
a bit a shad oil juice /aka/ ketchn lube ....
KABOOM SUM MORE ....

summary time ....
thanks so very much to all the wonderful bait mfg folks for the samples .....
I dropped a quite a few different items ....
btw mister crazy angler ....
I did ketch me a bull gill ....on ...
um ///u know ////
I so thunk it was a big black crappie when it pikt it up ..
on the fawl .....
you an I know it was quite a trick for it to eat that thing for sure
AMAZING ....
KABOOM ......to the top secret stuff I say ....
man they look pretty ....
we probably ketched around 50 to 60 crappie ....3/4 toss bax
25 or so bream ....didn't have to toss many back on them
4 or 5 black bass ....kept 1
10 or a dozen sandys or so ....we chased them a bit when they school up nice ,,,,,kept 3
water temp was 84 .....
targeted depths from very shallow to 38 fow ....
fish on the deep end didn't cooperate ...
large gar fish rollin in that area ....
bites in the deep timber were mostly bream at 14 to 15 foot down
...we marked the 23 foot down crappie a bunch , but they didn't cooperate well for sum reason...
thanks to my bud for the company an vessel .....
it was a great half day of ketchn for sure ...
light winds ....not terribly hot ....
bitin fish ...ice chest full a fish ....
one last black crappie pik
then on to the next adventure ....
KABOOM ....

Just FYI



I can't stop watching it! So I had to find the source of the video.
The Grenade Boat explosion was a (hostage scene) stunt FAIL for a Russian tv series. Grenade was for stunts not for reelz. No one died. But I bet they had some serious headaches for awhile.
Oh, and it had nothing to do with fishing. LOL

puts a whole new meaning to .....
uh oh ...here it comes again .....
KABOOOOOM ! hahaha ROFLMBO

Thats why I put it on here. For your KABOOOOOM!!!!

Glad y'all had a good trip.

Some good eats right there my friend.

Nice Fish!

Good Times!

I haven't even tested that bait yet. Kinda goes to reason that it'll get bit. I hope to get back out soon & will get one wet. Some new colors coming soon

Gills and Crappie. Nicely done!

I've hit that lake once for Crappie and only caught small ones. I love that lake for Bass Fishing.

the older side of the lake seems to have a lot of crappie fish...
and similar results on sand bass ...
3 to 4 to 1 keep fish ....
the newer side has larger crappie but they are difficult to locate and super finicky ....
its a challenge , but its scenic and tranquil ...
no recreational boating allowed on the new side ....
I highly recommend you use caution if you go ....
the water connecting the 2 lakes is about a foot plus a bit deep and full a rocks on the bottom ....
and the ramp on the new side is to shallow for a launch on most boats ....basically its closed
the drought conditions may make the new side unfishable soon if they don't get the much needed rain ....
