Chick Chester Frost 4/23/06

Hey All .. I finnally found some good fish on chick today !! I wouldnt you know it they all came within site of the ramp. I threw everything in the box, just a couple slicks, then as I was fishing the upper end of the Bay.. I ran across a guy and his 3 or 4 lil boys broke down.. I towed him back in. And while towing him in as we were going past the camp ground there on the left as your heading toward the ramp.. I graphed several schools of shad and bass in the 10 ft range. </p>

After droppin the guy off .. I ran back to where I marked the schools.. threw everything at em .. nothing but one lil football shapped bass that was puking shad. Then I started moving closer towards the shore .. at about the 6 foot level I hit some bass in the 12-14 inch range all were fat and happy. So I decided to concentrate harder on that shoreline in the 5-6 foot range, Put on a C Rig with 8" Grape and green flake worm, flat wore out the little guys caught at least 15 lost count around 10.. but all in the 12-14 range .. so I kept casting shallower and deeper and moving down that shore .. when the tell tell tap tap came .. set the hook on a SUPER FAT Bass  just packed full of eggs and bloody tail.. that fished jumped 6 times befre she gave up. She was about 4-5 lbs, snapped picture, and then I was pumped .. I cast every inch of that area, I hooked another one just a few feet from where the first was.. and it was a good 6 lbs maybe bigger.. got that fish right to the boat and the hook popped out .. man I was disgusted with my self..  so I kept casting .. and soon 5 min later another just like the one lost hit .. got it to the boat .. went to take pic of her .. d**n camera battery dies. So I kept worked the area .. caught 2 more 3-4 lbs , and lost couple more that prob about the same.. then it got dark , and the wife was calling me complaining .. ( You know its 9pm dont you.. Im going to my mothers ) Oh well was worth every bit of the complaining she gonna do when she gets home ( I was supposed to go to church at 6) .. that was right about the time I found the fish .. I guess God didnt mind since hes the one that let me have all that fun!</p>

Oh met a fellow cff member today .. he saw me fishing .. and came down to the dock . and holared at me seem like a nice young man. I'm horrible with remembering names, he told me his nick on here .. I didnt recognise it .. but I was shocked to have someone come up to me and say Hey I wana intruduce myself. I almost felt I should pat him on the head , maybe toss him a signed crankbait or something. Anyway .. was good to meet you young man!

</p>

Were you fishing on the bay side? In front of the lower primitive campgrounds?

 

[NRG]

Fishing right across the bay from the public swim area at chester frost, I cant think of that campgrounds name for the life of me .. my wifes cousin has a membership over there but cant rember the name.

 

[jason]

OK, I thought you were talking about the area on the opposite side of the road that leads into the campground. Congrats on the fatties.

Too funny. NRG, that was me in the white bullet at the boat ramp. You were telling me about the fish you caught when I was loading my boat. Fellow CFF'r and didn't know it. I will recognize ya next time.

 

[NRG]

You know what we need to make it manditory that all CFF members wear CFF hat or shirt with your CFF user name on it so that when we meet like that we will know each other. Or maybe that and everyone post a good clear head shot so when we see each other we will know the face and the user name

 This by the way was not the same user that came down and intruduced him self to me.

I know what it was .. didnt have my tie dye shirt on .. by the way CFF5 will not be in tie dye

</p>

 

[jon the fisherman]

Don't give up on the tie die shirt there NRG. If it was me, I would wear it at every tourny. Good report by the way.

 

[Jmax]

Hey NRG I agree, don't let us down on the tie died shirt. it is your trademark now so ya got to keep wearing it. Not to mention you won last time and that may be your lucky shirt now. I wished there was a way to I.D. us also, I would have liked to walk up and shake Beetlespins hand and almost did but since I didn't know him or realize who he was I didn't. Was afraid he might think"Who the Heck does he think he is?" I should have done it anyways. I think we worry sometimes too much what others might think instead of doing what we think we should.emoScratch Did that make sence? I think it did., well anyways good job NRG on the fish and the report. Did ya wiegh these or was that a guess on the size???emoPoke emoSmile Jmax

Cool fishing tale NRG ... I'm jealous!!! I wish I could have fished this weekend but was too busy with chores.

Glad you were on them ...

Give away signed fishing lures .. that cracked me up!!!

TT

NRG,
That would've been me at the dock. It was good to meet you and I'm glad you found some fish. If you will look, I posted some good luck to you about 4:30 yesterday and it must've worked. hehe.

BTW-I like new baits anytime.


Good report.

 

[frazier2209]

Also, that would be Camp Columbus. I put a report up earlier in the week (4-20) I believe about catching a few from that area. Were you to the left of the Camp Columbus swimming area and around the point?

Nice try there Fraizer .. but thats as detailed as your gonna get .. even that was more than I should have givin .. not that those fish will still be there most likely come cff5 anyway but a fella has to keep some things on the low down. Camp Columbus thats what I was trying to think of .. Im geting old be 40 in Sept .. my memory is fading

 Who am I kidding my short term was trashed years ago .. High School can be ruff on a persons short term memory.

That was educated guess .. but pretty accurate I would say .. mostly because there was not money on the line. I orderd a new digital scale tonight, so hopefully will have by the next time I post fish and the CFF5. I'm only gonna wear tiedye if I can get a shirt that is not t-shirt that I could wear b4 I lost so much wieght looks like hand me down. Shirt had nothing to do with it .. God gets all the credit. He gave me the fish and the skills to find and catch them.</p>

Hehe, I figured it was worth a shot! I'll find it sooner or later and mark it on the 'ole GPS. I won't be fishing CFF5, but am I fishing a tourney on Watts Bar on May 6.


Good luck to ya man!
