I was bound and determined to fish this afternoon. Thought about the Wolf but with the wind and water color being stained as it is after these storms plus it is hard to cast from the bank in the area I fish so I decided to go to Harrison Bay. I talked my wife and kids into going with me. My wife , little girl and dog joined me but the wind was too tough and all my companions left me before a fish was ever caught!!! :( Thinking I was crazy for staying and fish in such wind! I proved them wrongemoSmile ended up landing 15 Male keeping Crappie (slabs) not that I am prejudice, I would of kept any Slab Females however there were none to be found. I did toss back two small Crappie which may have , and did appear to be Females. I also lost 3 or 4 Crappie trying to horse them in before they were ready. I caught 3 LM Bass, 1 Spot and I had a good fish abuse me and I ended up braking off (the way it appeared to be fighting I would guess a LMemoConfused ) 2 of the other LM were over 15inches, the Spot was 12-13.
I also caught 2 stripe. Every thing I caught was on a minnor..and was fished about 2ft deep(under a float). The wind was unbelievably tough....I mean fierce but raring back and slinging the ol' tuffie into the right spot will make for some good dinner!emoSmile
 
RE: ROUGH WIND & CRAPPIE

I see you learned how to tie that JSV traditional knot. Seeing on how you were using minnow. Tells me you didn't lose any rods because of the float on your line. When you coming down to guntersville and teach me that JSV traditional knot. Got an email from jimmystriton today. He told me that he and Dee are starting there trip back home for leave. He'll be fishing with me on that Thurday and Friday. I think it's the 21st and 22nd. Maybe thats when you should join us in guntersville. Not sure when they will have to leave and head back to Iraq. I'll just be glad to see his crazy a _ _! Thanks, Swamp donkey
 
Good job JSV .. wish it were me with that fishing report. :(

Swamp ... glad you are getting a visit from Jimmy S. Although I don't know him ... I do know TNDoe and since they are related he has to be a-okay! And a soldier to boot ... God bless those men and women who do that!!!

Hope you all have a heck of a fishing time when he is here.
