Another Jigfest, Another Great time, Great People, Great food, Great fishing. We ate like kings, from Phil's smoked chicken and grilled salmon, Duane's Walleye, Brett's flathead, Ham's smoked ribs, Rick's fried hen of the woods and apple crisp in the dutch oven. Michael s smoked salami and cheese etc and so on. The fishing was good. Phil and Duane are VERY good fishermen, and a pleasure to fish with. Hopefully Duane will not bill me for the clinic he put on Friday afternoon. I once again had the pleasure of fishing with my friend Terrierman, Thursday afternoon along with Woundedone, Saturday we fished until about 1230 when it started raining we went to town for a pizza, watch football and a nap. Sunday was likely our shortest but best day. Not sure of a total number but we had three doubles, and my best run were fish on 5 straight cast. Our best colors were tri olive, olive/ginger, brown orange, I threw in a few on pink chartreuse, and Terrierman on the olive/ginger with gold head (Getto jig) we used 1/16 due to low water flow. Looking forward to next year with a great group of fishermen. Here is a picture of Terrierman with the Buffalo City bluff in the background.

I would enjoy the opportunity to fish with you at some point Richard g

Perfect! I will eat them if no one else will....LOL

Hey Pete, Terrierman and I should be there by 2 or so, give me a call will see whats happening. g

To quote the late great Bill Ring "if you are too busy to go fishing, you're too busy".....

Right now I plan on riding down with Terrierman Thursday afternoon. I plan on fishing with Phil and Duane on Friday, there should be open seats with Ham, Terrierman, Zigjigman, Big Jake and LittleRed I will PM you my cell, service is limited at Rileys however the WiFi usually is good can send you info Thursday Night with time place etc. if that works.

well I messed up again, Micropterus has the potato salad covered Saturday night so I need to learn to read rest looks good. I will plan on making Thursday night, bring baked potatoes to go with Salmon and chicken, desserts etc.

My bad messed it up but should be Good Friday and Saturday

I hope to get a chance to fish with everyone but will give way to folks less familiar with the White as I fish it a bit. Having fished with Ham, Littlered and Terrierman I can tell you they are all a pleasure. I know that Phil and DD are very good and would be great and could teach me a great deal. I certainly would enjoy an opportunity to fish with zigjigman in his new topwater. Hope my plans are nailed down by Monday, but know I can get there Friday afternoon at latest, still have hope for Thursday with Terrierman. g

Thursday is still in the air for me.....boat..???? Thus Pete in the Air.... Terrierman may be there with two open Zigjigman 2 open seats, Big_Jake 1 or 4 open seats.... Friday, Ham two open seats, Littlered 2 open seats Terrierman Two open seats Phil DD 1 open seat Zigman 2, Big Jake 1= 10 seats open SIO, N9 ,maybe me need ride= 3 so should be good Friday Saturday Ham w/Johsfolly 1 open seat, Littlered 2 open, Terrierman two open, Phil DD 1 open Zigjigman 2, Big Jake 1 = 9 open SIO, Wounded one, N9,Micropterus, and myself =5 so good there Sunday Ham 2 seats, Littlered 2 seats Terrierman Two seats, Zigjigman 2 seats Big Jake 2 seats =10 Johnsfolly, Wounded one, N9, Micropeterus and me = 5 so we should be good. I can bring a boat if we need it, but appears we are good. Please correct any errors or omissions. Just trying to piece the puzzle together.

Should be there Friday for sure, I can bring Hush puppies, green onions cowboy caviar (Some cilantro free for Ham) chips, potatoes) and desserts for both nights, For Saturday night will bring some potato Salad to go with ribs. Will bring some mushrooms for appetizers. May not fish well but will eat good. Thursday still in the air hope to know tomorrow.

most enjoyable game the last two years for me, after 37 years of season tickets I will just keep on going.

And a new D line coach.....

maybe we can get Miles to cook a batch in his dutch oven....mmmmm!

You three are liable to sore mouth every fish in the river Thursday I may have to go to powerbait to catch one.

Think Ham suggested FRYday.......

Just bought the book on ebay for under $6 looking forward to reading it, and will share. Hope to have more dogs in front of me.... Several on there just have to price shop.

He has one of those cajun fryers, sweet, was embarrassed to get mine out of the truck.

On Friday nights, Fat Daddy's Forsyth....darn good everytime.

Quill get healed up, ready for next time. Praying for you my friend. g

Great, we will have plenty of seats. Will be down afternoon Thursday if you do not find one sooner. Will pm you my cel.

Ham like Pete that place looks awesome. I know that your cherish and savor every trip with your Dad. Sure wish I could take mine again.....Some day in new waters.

well if in Chicago get a ruben, should have took a goat with you....

I have the Terrova and love/hate it. For deeper fishing over brush piles, using the anchor feature it is super. For working ledges dragging bottom bouncers at 1-1.5 mph great. For working through the timber or around all the docks at LOZ not so great. I mainly crappie and walleye fish these days, so will stick with it. If I were mostly bass fishing think I would go the other way. I also feel that the built in transducer seems to scare fish.... just my opinion. Maybe J-Doc will jump in he has both and a quick detach system so can change for needed application. I am considering going with. I also am told the ix5 has a tighter anchor area, and that a unit with foot control/powerdrive is comming out.... hope this helps. g

dad gum Jeff, hope you heal like Rick. In my prayers Brother. Put me in for Thursday night also.
