Had some folks cancel on a turkey hunt due to a family situation.
Decided to make a 3-day trip to Weiss Lake to add more crappie to the freezer!!!
Called up Ken, Carl, and ****, on some details about a nice house to rent for the weekend! They were IN!
We got to the lake house around 5:00 PM Thursday afternoon, launched the boats, tied them up on the dock, and then proceeded to cook up 40 lbs. of crawfish!!
We ate like KINGS the entire weekend!!emoHungry
The lake house and the "eatin" was the highlight of the trip!!!! The fish catching was not much!
Two boats, two men in each boat fished from daylight till dark, and then went back and night fished under lights until about midnight each night!
Total catch by day.........
Friday=12
Saturday=9
TOTAL=21
Just an AWFUL two days of fish catching! Pitiful!!
I am not an expert on fish/water quality issues.....BUT!!!
The water was almost as thick as mud with pollen!! Between the two boats we saw 9 (healthy looking, but dead?!?!) dead crappie floating on the water this weekend.
The depth finders would show depth, temp, and a FUZZY "gray zone" from top to bottom!! I think the water was so loaded with pollen the Humminbird was showing a GRAY zone?!?! The two boats, with a total of 4 graphs were showing the same weird pattern.
Water temps ranged from 68-70. Fished with jigs, minnows, kithcen sink, ect.....
Just could not find fish, that would bite!
Yet we did manage to catch enough to eat one night, just glad I had 2 dozen frog legs from my pond, or we may have went hungry!!
