[fishing tech]

Very nice. I need to fish with you. I seem to catch the ones that are the size of your jig. Oh well 8 year til retirement.

[palisade1kid]

ok ,thankyou.

the slabs are coming pretty good.

The water is warming fast this year.

The males are turning black already.

I'm hoping to find the gills tommorow at a different lake.

Congrats on the nice slab! That looks like a hybrid white

crappie X black crappie. tonka has lots of them and they get huge!

Nice fish Muleshack & congrats!

Ok skeets here you go.

Just a few words first.

We started at my gill hole & since there are tons of springs she takes a bit to warm up,but she was warm enough for those bulls to move in.

We fought off the specs for these bulls today.Boy the slime rag got soaked quick.

I've got long fingers so these babies are true bulls in my book,but they get bigger in this spot.

Everyone of those bulls were sent back to fight for another day.

then we pulled the pin to go catch some eating fish.After a quick sammy we hit my crappie hole.

The water in this lake is a lot warmer & you can tell with the male slabs turning so black.

I know this is not a crappie or gill ,but it is such a pretty pic as a parting shot.

We had a good time at our first open water outing. we headed out to rush lake looking for gills and crappies. we had the GEM pontoon, and Jack and lowell brought their boats to help out. (thanks guys ) the first spot didn't go to well, only little ones in the back bay. We went in for lunch, then had our devotions. Jack talked about the recent Virginia tech shootings and reminded us how we never know when bad things can happen so we should always be ready to meet our God, through faith in Christ. After that we headed back out and tried out in the main lake were the green weeds were just starting to come up, we found better fish there. it was slow at first but picked up as the water warmed throughout the day. the pike were chasing the panfish around, and sometimes bit our tiny jigs. an after dinner snack mabye? Well,I thank the Lord for a great time! the next outing will be in two weeks for the opener!

here are some pics of the action!

Here are a few from last weekend. For fun Joe put on a Big Bobber. He pulled in a nice 11 inch fish. Fished with a new plastic called a Puddle Jumper. Purple Puddle Jumpers worked very well.

Joe with a couple nice fish.

He said he measure,why qustion him ?

It looks like it could be.

Here's a 10.5

With a mouth the size of a quarter it is in my book.

I've released 12 inchers in my honey hole.

When I get another 1, I'll have a tape by it for proof.
