soccplayer07 Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 i have GPS in my boat. I can probably get one more boater (Matt) to attend as well. Let me know. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted November 23, 2009 Super User Posted November 23, 2009 Yeah, tell Matt to get his butt down there. Quote
shimmy Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Well, count me in. I'm sure this is a first come first serve for positions in the boat. If there are any open spots, count me in. VABASSER, if you have an opening, i wouldn't mind tagging along. And, if it turns out there is nothing left, i will bring up the ghetto raft. Don't make fun of it. Its got soul. Quote
soccplayer07 Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 its not a tourney without shimmy!!! Quote
Thai Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 its not a tourney without shimmy!!! Yeah without losers there cant be a winner! JK JK JK JK ;D Quote

Yeah man, as long as its a day that I'm able to make it you got a spot on my boat since you were the first to call it. I prefer just 2 on the boat, its a 2004 Bass Tracker PT 185, but I have fished 3 off it without too much hassle. I guess it will depend on how many boats we're able to get Quote
Bigs Posted November 24, 2009 Author Posted November 24, 2009 dont expect much of a tourney. This will be my first time fishing from a boat during the cold weather. I have only fished from my boat house in the winter before. So I dont know the spots to go from boat. But I have done some research on what to look for and what to throw. I just read reports of people catching 20 bass a day right now on elk creek which is where my house is. Mostly between 1.5 and 3 pounds. Shakey heads, wacky senkos, crankbaits and carolina rigs are all good right now. Theres tons of boat docks down there and the wacky rigged senko is supposed to be deadly pitched around and under the docks. Theres also alot of rip rap areas which will be holding some fish and then of course the dikes. I do know of one real nice cove thats chaulk full of lilly pads during the summer, its a few acres in size when u get back there but the water is between 2-3 feet back there limiting big boats such as mine. Im pretty sure those lilly pads are fine right now but not sure if theres fish around them at all. Its less then a mile from my house so I will go back there right away and see for myself. The possibilities are endless right now but I have to explore some of course. Thats what will be great about havin 3 or 4 boats out there at once is that we can all check out different areas and cover more ground that way. Im not lookin at this like a tourney as much as a fishing trip. Oh and btw, the bass spawn there during february ;D A february outing will be a must as well. Quote
NewAngler Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Count me in if the dateis good. No overnighter for this guy. A house full of dudes is is not my thing. Steve can I hop on your boat if the date works out? Quote
hokiefisherman93 Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 if anyone has an open spot count me in, if not i will bring my kayak on up Quote
cmatthews6485 Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 I want to go as well if there are any spots Quote
LHC - Bank Robber Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Back to the question at hand, I got out for a little while this afternoon and got 5lm, big fish was pushin 3lb but most were around 2. Only thing gettin bit was a 3inch senko. Quote
Bigs Posted November 25, 2009 Author Posted November 25, 2009 went down to the lake today to get some mail and wow the water was clear. I saw around 12-15 bass swimming around my boathouse. All between 10-14 inches as well as a massive carp that kept tryin to get my senko. I had to keep pulling my worm out of the water so my fishing was limited. Also saw alot of catfish as always between 1-2 pounds . So Im thinkin Im gonna get one of those automated fish feeders and install it on the dock so the bigger fish move in. I did catch a few small ones while I was there and lost one that was probably around 3 pounds. All on a 5 inch senko texas rigged weightless. The wacky senko was gettin no love from those bass. I was only there fishing for about 45 minutes maybe. This was around 1pm, temp outside was 54 degrees and the water of course was warm and crystal clear. I could see 5 feet down into the water no problem. I wanna get back there with my boat asap ;D I did see 3 different bassboats flyin by my house and that was it. The water is like glass also. Pretty good conditions for fishing if you ask me. Oh and yes NewAngler you gotta spot on my boat since no one else called it, my gf will have the other seat Im sure. Back on topic, think Im gonna hit riverside tommorow if I can. Thai you up for some shore fishing ? High tide should be around lunch time right ? Imma check now. Oh and LHC plz post some pics!! Quote
Thai Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 would love to Stevo but tmr I'm hitting Burke with Dan and Aaron! Good to hear that Anna is looking good, lets do this! Quote

quanjig Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Caught a small fish on a jb Monday. All the rain keeping the water a bit dirty for the jb, but when it clears up it's gonna be on!! Quote

Thai Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 On another note if we do Anna before the 9th or after the 16th my friend Daniel will come with his boat Quote
LHC - Bank Robber Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 I got out for an hour or so around 12:30. Had zero bites on senkos. But surprisingly I did have one dink come up and smack a buzzjet jr, that was the only fish of the day. Hope you guys have a good thanksgiving Quote
VABasser Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 On another note if we do Anna before the 9th or after the 16th my friend Daniel will come with his boat That reminds me I could probably get one of my friends to come and bring his boat too if it was after the 17th since he is on the same school schedule as me Quote
