Help please! - Chester Frost 3-19-2006

[tndoe270]

If any of you see or talk with JSV, please give him a lesson on how to tie a hook We went this morning in the wind out of Chester frost and couldn't even drown a minner much less catch a fish. We had a good time but its hard to fish with that many clothes on and the wind blowing light and variable. Yeah right. I should have been a meterologist. We only managed 4 keepers and JSV lost a real nice fish at the boat due to his hook tying methods. JSV, you should have blamed it on the 2lb test

RE: Help please!

Now that's funny. I just met JSV this afternoon on Wolftever Creek. Didn't seem to be having problems catching fish then. He said ya'll had a hard time with the wind. Didn't mention his knot tying skills though.

RE: Help please!

Hey Pointer 78. We had a good time but it's tough with the wind. I got him out of position more than once today! He skruggled to say the least.
He has to be the only one I know to drop a rod in the water each of the past two times we went. Thank goodness for bobbers.

Pointer 78,
It was good to meet you today on the Wolf and indeed you are correct!! I wasn't having a problem catching fish in Wolftever nor was the knot tying an issue in Chester Frost. The incident that tndoe270 is referring to is a simple case of a BIG quality SLAB braking your (old 4lb test) line as you attempt to lift the Fish into the boat due to your partner not getting the net for you!!!!! emoBang That slab was probably 3 lbs!!!!ha!ha!!Usually she would of been more helpful but today in those light and variable winds, she was to busy front boating me!!!emoEnforce
AND AS FOR OLE SWAMP Donkey: when we meet on the G , I just may teach you a knot or two!!emoGeezer
Actually, tndoe270 does have a small point. I actually did have to adapt and change my method of fishing during the morning. Since I was getting front boated( TT: This means , the person fishing the front of the boat, positions it for their advantage and thus doesn't allow you access to the good spots) I had to try and swing the advantage my way. emoScratch So, I added a swivel and a jig to my set-up. The problem was, I added this swivel and jig above my minnor without retying (poor engineering). emoAngry and Yes it did cost me a good slab! However, it was a tough morning of fishing in those light and variable winds. We fished many brush piles which varied in depth but found few fish I found less than tndoe270.
While driving back to Ooltewah/ Georgetown, I decided to bank fish in the Wolf, where I have been catching Crappie. The wind in the Wolf was very light and variable and the Fishing much better. I caught at least 20 Crappie(most small) and a real nice Small Mouth, a few Spots and once TVA started pulling water, I started catching bream (ran out of minnors).
emoMad It was time to get home anyways.
Pointer 78 , it was nice meeting you today and good luck next week in your Tour.

Since I was getting front boated( TT: This means , the person fishing the front of the boat, positions it for their advantage and thus doesn't allow you access to the good spots)

I now have a name for what my husband ALWAYS did to me when we did have a boat and went fishing! I always had to be the one to figure out how to fish what was left for me to get to. I never got to drive!

You lost a big crappie ... all I lost fishing Sunday was 2 - .39 cent corks and 2 hooks ... and my pride since I didn't catch a dang bite even! As they say .. better luck next time.

Musta missed you coming into Wolf .. what time was it? I was there I guess about 12 to 1 maybe.

TT

 

[Pointer 78]

That's a good idea Snuffy. I'll mention it at the next meeting.

 

[JSV]

TT,
I believe I arrived in Wolftever around 2:00. (I almost didn't even stay and fish). There was a Blazer parked up at the top corner and the wind appeared to be blowing, when I got out of the car. However ,I decided to drown a few more minnos. To my surprise, the wind was light (at most) and I was able to catch several fish (unlike earlier in the day when tndoe270 spanked by butt). Also to tndoe270 credit, she really didn't cut me off all day(front boat me) that was my excuse for getting out caught. I still haven't come up with an excuse for having two fishing poles in two trips go over board while fishing. Surely I can come up with some Southern Slang terminology for this also. Fortunately (thanks to fishing with bobbers) I have been able to retrieve both rods.

I want to know where you are finding your floats for 39cents?? I must admit I have been dedicating several to the fishing lords and heaven knows how many jigs. Each 3 to 6 dozen minnas ought to come with a half dozen bobbers.
Good Fishing.........JSV
