Saturday Report

[Fishrman]

Fished for crappie up the Kings with the two boys. It was sure slow trying to hit every tree with a ten or fifteen casts along the bluffs and channel swings. Boys got kind of bored. Did catch 2 keepers and 5 total. They were at least 10-12 feet deep on timber. Did put the big jig into effect on those 45 degree banks, first one I pulled up on caught 3 keeper spots in short fashion and a couple of shorts. Ended up in a short time with 4 keepers on the jig and a couple of shorts. Not bad for wasting most of the day on crappie. Good luck when you get to go.

Seemed like good weather yesterday. The Mrs. asked me to hang Christmas lights. I enjoy hanging with her, but prefer to hang with her on the lake. Did the crappie turn on at all this year?

[Fishrman]

Yes they did. About 3 weeks ago a very good fisherman here in town was catching his limit regularly. I was supposed to go with him, but our football team kept winning and we kept having Saturday games. Ends up we won a state championship on Friday. I even drove home on Friday night from St. Louis so I could fish on Saturday. Ate up with it I guess. Wife thinks I am crazy. His crappie fishing was all up the Kings. He also told me that 3 weeks ago they were only about 6 feet deep on the trees. Hope this helps.

Fishrman, let me guess. Are you from Cassville.

[Fishrman]

That would be a good guess. Are you from this area also?
