We had a stellar day Saturday. The weather absolutely could not have been more perfect emoSun (unlike Sunday = cancelled trip). This is the fifth year in a row Richard & Henry Boehms, along with Richard's father-in-law Darrell Winn, have met here from Mississippi and Middle TN to fish with me for crappie or catfish.

Last year we knocked out a 4-man limit of crappie, and they were planning on it again Saturday. emoEek I told them not to count on it. But by golly, the Boehms must bring good luck with them because we smacked them. It was a super-hot bite... although we had to cull through 100 or 150 short fish, once again we knocked out a 4-man limit yesterday (plus a few other "off species," such as bass, catfish and yellow bass).

Same Bat Time and same Bat Channel (i.e. my standard pattern in my standard place). Most who watch <a href=http://youtu.be/bfkkEDUM72Y>THIS VIDEO</a> will recognize it. Oddly two or three friends who were fishing in the area, using identical pattern/technique, didn't do nearly as well as we did. It was really a mystery, but again, I think the Boehms bring me luck. emoWorthy

They are a LOT of fun to fish with ... and they tip well ... which means life is good and gettin' better every day! emoBigsmile

Good job. And great pix. They looked like they were having a blast. If you netted all those you may need to see Dr. Phil
