Great pics!

Despite the cold wind and rain on Sunday during the bass tourney (for with I only fished 30 min), I had a good time.  My brother(kneetoe) and I arrived on a warm late Friday afternoon and saw the familiar faces from NCKA ,including guitarzan holding a bass with he had just caught using a crappie jig (see pic). The next day the cold with irregular breezes kept us off our kayaks so we just fished along the creek. For hours couldn't catch anything using lures while the kayakers on the creek were scoring some nice size bass using minnos.  We could see bass and crappies just below the water but they were not biting  lures. Mooch, in the afternoon on his kayak, later scored a 14 inch crappie which he gave to us and I used the roe from that crappie to catch 3 more.  This was my first real attempt to fish for bass and crappie and I learned lures don't work all that well when i used them but crappie roe works on crappie even for me.

     thanks for the tourney yakhopper

Sorry,,,,,,,i got slammed at work and then training after that.

We got there on Fri@10am and it was T-shirt time......i hit the day use area(i did not have a real campsite yet) and pounded the intire area, deep,shallow, tulle's, rocks and creeks with senkos and dropshot'd creatures for NOT.  I'm swearing off minnows for this season and finding myself doing alot more SWEARING as a result. You could see them looking for love everywhere(6-7ft. clarity)on friday.

Pic1~Ben caught this one and it had a oozing hemorrhoid on its' back.

pic3~ Fiesty was the thing

I quit in the late afternoon and had to find someone who would have me for the evening. I sleep in my CRV so all i needed was a parking spot. My nephew Chad/Chevydaze had my back though (thanks to all who offered me up a spot) I had to take this waterfront spot.

I was asking about you and Mooch, because there were several sites around me where there was room for an extra car.

Sat morning we went to the creek and those who had minnow, had action. This lil'man had a run he won't forget for a while.....it was his first LMBass and he cut it loose like a Real_Man.  

pics1&2~Cameron had a hotstick and was hit a few times back-to-back-to-back!

pic3~ these hungry shore guys wanted to see it on the grill at camp.....what shame.

pic1~later on back at CampSavage, Mooch was being treated like royalty.

......he then arose and announced that he was going to launch in the creek, to catch a crappie with a jig. In total disbelief i followed and was lucky to witness this (pic2) white crappie, get fooled&cleaned........then played a major roll in the hooking of these(pic3) three Black ones.
If i hadn't been there to witness it, i never would have believed it.

Congrads to all who won,placed&showed.

Thanks to yakhopperE. for getting us together for the weekend(even though i bailed on fishing sunday and feel like a bigWUSS )
