duckydoty Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Only got in 1/2 day of fishing with Brother Dave and another buddy today. We started about 1:30 in the afternoon and fished till dark. It was windy, warm, and we had a lot of fun. It was tuff to get on the bottom today with the wind and stay in the depth of water we wanted to be. After making a few drifts with the wind we finally came up with a productive way to catch. We ended up putting a 1/4 oz weight on the end of our line and then 2, 1/16th oz jigs spaced about 18 inches apart and 18 inches above the 1/4 oz weight. This would keep us on the bottom with the high speed drifts we were getting in the wind and as long as I could keep the boat in 20 feet of water, we were catching fish. Again, lots of shorts today, but we did end up putting 19 keepers in the live well. We also got into some really nice whites almost across and just down from point 15 right before dark. Might have to go play with them again tomorrow. Today was by far the best action we've had out there in the last few days. The shorts kept us busy all afternoon. Fish catcher today was crappie magnets in the killer krill? (i think that is the name of the color) and blue thunder swimming minnows.

duckydoty Posted March 11, 2014 Author Posted March 11, 2014 LOL! There is a reason for the shad. You see, Brother Dave and I have a younger brother, Jason who is about to retire from the Army. When we were all kids, Brother Dave and I took Jason fishing for his first time in a creek behind our house. The target species of the day were creek chubs. We ended up catching a nice one about 6 or 7 inches long and gave it to Jason, who was probably 4 or 5 years old, to let go. Me and Brother Dave went on about our fishing and never gave it another thought. About a week later, Mom and Pop loaded all us kids up in the station wagon one evening and headed to the drive-in movies. All us kids would lay in the back of the station wagon with pillows and blankets and watch the movies till we fell asleep. Jason was throwing a fit this time about he could not find his pillow, and had to have his pillow. We could not understand why he was throwing such a fit about it. There were plenty of pillows, just grab on and watch the movie. Well, we finally found his pillow and found out what the big deal was. He had put that creek chub in his pocket, took it home and put it in his pillow case so he could sleep with it every night. We are going to dehydrate the shad and give it to him as a retirement present! A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at.. Ozark Trout Runners
