Big M To The Kings Night Fishing

[Pepe]

Wow. I'm guessing you are not a fan of tournament fishing? I do not wish to inflame the issue but would point out that tournament guys and meat fisherman are both allowed to take a legal limit every day.

I don't care to tournament fish because it brings out my competitive side in lieu of providing relaxation. Point being, it's a choice. One of the many great freedoms we enjoy, along with our right to express our opinions.

Sort of a topic jump - I was able to fish around sundown Saturday night and was on a main lake point In Twin Rivers area. There was a pleasure boat playing 70's music and singing along for all they were worth as the full moon seemed to encourage them.

Any musician from that era will remember the persistent audience request "Play Free Bird". So in jest we yelled out the request - and THEY PLAYED IT. When they got to the guitar solo my fishing rod became an air guitar and my son just threw his hands in the air;)

That's good stuff, DC. Very good stuff. Maybe we can drown out smalliebigs with Skynyrd. Next up: Simple Man.

Similar thing happened to my buddy Mike and i a couple years ago we on the rip rap at ruark bluff on stockton and we heard this music coming from back under h highway bridge the music got louder and louder till a party barge came be bopping around the point and headed towards the ramp. there were four lets say scantly attired young ladies dancing on the top deck and the guys were laid back doing 16 oz curls. KC and the Sunshine was blaring do a little dance make a little love get down tonight!!!! Of course there was a distinct odor in the breeze too. i think it was the only time i've ever enjoyed his music lmbo!!!!!

LOL, KC was the only "artist" I know of who made an entire career off one melody by just changing the words.

[Quillback]

I'll turn 57 in October, and thereby occupy the high ground in terms of who is the oldest - until someone older claims it. (I think Old Plug has us all beat).

On the topic of keeping fish in the well. If you are doing it PLEASE make sure the ice is in a plastic jug of some sort or non-chlorinated water or you are doing more harm than good. When I tourney fished I used the little 8oz coke bottles I would fill up the well and then add bottles till I got to the lake temp at the depth the fish were down and had enough bottles to keep the temp cold all day if needed in a ice chest.

As for the bends in a tourney you should have a needle and know how to use it. Regular pleasure fishing I watched a show a while back where they used downriggers to drop the fish back down fast to keep them for diing no needle. Seems to work and has me thinking about doing it some how.
