Duh...


fishing user avatarRattletrap reply : 

Rw. Its tough to fish at the lake I go to when it's a clear blue sky. You see the picture of the Cypress Lake on my posts. Average 6ft. No real drop offs. Slowly tapers to the edges. Post front. A storm just passed yesterday. What do you think?


fishing user avatarGobbleDog reply : 

"Cypress Lake"....  that's not Lake Cypress in Florida, is it?


fishing user avatarRattletrap reply : 

Banks Lake in Lakeland Georgia. That's where they filmed the movie "Gator" with Burt Reynolds in the early 70's. It's about a 25 minute run from Valdosta, Ga.

Ya can't catch 'em from the couch!!!!!

Anyday fishing is better than, well just about anything.

Whether you catch 'em or not.

This past Saturday I fished a 3 hour jackpot air temp was 57 degree's

water temp ranged from 46-48 degree's and it rained for the better part of the 3 hours that we were on the water.

We didn't get anything in the boat, my partner lost one, but 11 of 18 boats weighed in fish and 1st was a 5.8 largemouth, 2nd was a 4.8 smallmouth.

(I had said in an earlier post that the smallmouth weighed 5.8, my mistake.)

Go get 'em


fishing user avatarsquid reply : 

I would atleast enjoy the day on the boat, but that's just me, cause I have snow, ice and crapy weather to deal with....lol.  


fishing user avatarRattletrap reply : 

I'm loading up the boat now. I'll be leaving shortly.


fishing user avatarphisher_d reply : 

good luck! let us know how you do :)


fishing user avatarBassChaser57 reply : 

Any day of fishing---is better than staying home, sitting on your couch in your underwear watching TV wishing you were fishing. It probably will be a slow catching day but you will be doing what the rest of us trapped in offices or hotels wish we were doing.   Glad to see you went --we will be awaiting the report. 8-)


fishing user avatarRattletrap reply : 

I caught 3 keeper bass and 1 Pike.

fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

Yea!

Getting out there was the right thing to do. Congrats!


fishing user avatarRattletrap reply : 

It was a good day. I tried a different area to no avail. I went to where I had been catching them and caught 3, bang, bang, bang on a Bill Norman crankbait. Water Temp topped out at 61 degrees.


fishing user avatarBassChaser57 reply : 

Way to go--- You did the right thing. It is getting to be the right time of year to have some fantastic fishing.

fishing user avatarmudcatwilly reply : 

Toss a line.  Lord knows that when I've gone in perfect fishing conditions, I struck out.  And when I went during sideways rain and chocolate milk water, I boated bass on a weird bait.  It's the thrill of the hunt brother!


fishing user avatarDDbasser reply : 

Now aren't you glad we twisted your arm and made you go fishing!!!!


fishing user avatarLow_Budget_Hooker reply : 

R-TRAP-  I'm looking at 38 degrees, 20mph N wind, blue skies.  I also have a UPS truck with approximately 150 stops, 400 or so packages and a boss who wants more stock options so he's cut more resources than necessary.

Do I go in to work?

wanna trade decisions?

:)


fishing user avatarRattletrap reply : 

Yep. I'm glad I went. The bruises from ya'll twisting my arm to go will eventually go away.  ;D
