Its fishing


Recommended Posts

Made it out this afternoon and evening.

This afternoon I found Crappies in a very untypical pattern for this time of year.

Inside the weedline, 3 feet of water, and also 2-3 feet of water up in the reed beds.

Later this evening the Crappies shifted and 10-13 feet of water was producing Crappies and Bluegills on marabou jigs 1-2 feet off the bottom.

Anyone else not a big fan of this hot and humid weather?

Been a wierd year, UJ. Started in the winter and has been screwy ever since. This is when we typically get into that hot, arid weather pattern....not hot, arid( from lack of rain) and humid all at once . The atmosphere capped here again yesterday and rain which was in the area didn't have enough lift in it to penetrate the cap, so we are still dry. They said early this AM that the humidity and temps had fallen, but the temp is 70 already with clear skies and the air can be cut it is so thick. Guess its going to be another tough day. No real relief up north either. We are going to the cabin on Tuesday and I'll try the big drink again for lakers. I'm coming home on Weds. morning as I have too much work waiting on me and Ma will return with the kids on Friday. The weather has been wet up there and the temps have been about what we have been having, so the humidity is going to be outrageous there as well. Bugs are bad this year too....black flies and deer flies really mess me up with the bites and I don't do well with the bug stuff. I'll let Ma and the kids enjoy the bug world and I'll just be home working releatively bugless. Ha! No dude, I don't care much for this thick weather either, but what can a fiherman do?

Today was cooler and less humid, especially later in the afternoon.

Crappies went strong again in 8-13 feet of water casting marabou jigs. Plenty of Bluegiils to boot as well, and the Pike weren't shy either.

And the work week begins..... frown.gif

Made it out today, despite some spotty weather and many "scattered" showers and downpours passing through the area.

Got alot of Crappies and Sunfish on the weed edges in 8-12 feet of water. Some slabs found my marabou jig today, C&Ring one close to the 14" mark smile.gif The colder weather was a relief to say the least, but getting chased off by "thunder downpours" every hour got old after a few trips back in.

Hey, I even got to tussle a 10# Doggy fish.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
