Muskrat, Chickamauga, crappie, 10-27-13, Deb

[Muskrat]

Crappie fished from almost 11:00 am until 1:00 pm today. A very short trip that started off well the first hour of fishing. The bite tailed off around noon but we caught 22 crappie total - 1 yellow bass. Fish were caught on both minnows and jigs. We used 3 rods. The jigs caught them in about 12 feet and the minnows close to 20 feet. We're waiting on an order of jigs and jig heads as we don't have much to work with right now. I'm almost positive we saw DK and Dr. Phil heading in to the marina. Deb said someone is waving and she waved back and then I turned around and picked up on the G3 logo. I said that might be DK but I didn't think he fished on Sunday much so I wasn't sure ? Of course now I read a report when I get in and realize that it probably was. As we were about ready to go in about 1:15 I noticed a boat approaching. I could tell from a distance that it was Kingfish ( Bob ) but I had never met him before. He pulled up and said he thought he recognized us and we chatted with him and his fishin' buddy Archie. We had just talked about running into each other on the crappie.com site - small world. It was our pleasure meeting you Bob. Deb and I really like that boat...nice ! We couldn't fish long today but we might go back after them tomorrow. No pics - I forgot to put the memory card in the camera. emoDoh

Theft update: I've since found out that equipment was also stolen. Deb's Pflueger Trion GX-7 reel and a set of scales. I thought my tackle box was ok at first but they picked thru it and got some more spinnerbaits...buzzbaits.. football jigs, etc.

That was me, Muskrat. I thought that I recognized Debbie, but you didn't look like yourself from a distance, so I didn't stop. I used to see good. emoBigsmile I did scan that area that you were in when we first started today and didn't see any fish there, but found some nearby. I'll stop tomorrow if we see you. Ricky and I will be out around 8:30. emoBigsmile emoGeezer

I hear 'ya about the vision. My vision is just awful now even when I wear glasses and that is seldom. I'm going to the eye doc in a couple of weeks to get some new glasses as my eyesight has really gotten worse lately. Maybe I'll be able to pick out a few more CFF boaters from a distance. emoSmile
