Me & willie decided to look for the moby crappie and looked at at quite a few areas up lake, wind was a negative factor in the am. Needless to say no slabs landed, many bass were boated and released. Weather got much better in the pm. The deep trolling bite was not happening today. Ended the day working jigs by the island but the bite was not there. Couple of other boats did not have much luck there as well. One boat trolling minnows landed a few.
That's what happens when you don't take your friend Tom.
Moby is waiting for me next week. :o
the great white slab. lying just below the surface like a muskie on a sunny day moby awaits . looking for a 1/16th lime green jig head with a white eye, flapping an acid rain tail with the flash of and scent of real minnow. with the buzz of the trolling motor in the background king moby hovers above the lessor slabs in the depths awaiting some fool to dropshot a lonely minnow down on their nose. the trolling motor buzz intensifies then begins to dissipate. a crease in the otherwise still lake pierces the surface but the flouro is invisible even to the great white one. now a thumping is heard and a far off flash of the spinner catches mobies attention. the slab slides himself down to the 5ft level of the oddity in his kingdom. is it tasty precious is it juicy and scrumptuous the slab ruminates. the jig arrives a treat fit for the king of slabs dolled up in a big green head a huge tail. moby closes, is it tasty, yes its live minnow. is it worthy, yes its not just a minnow it thumps it flashes..its mine! two lightning fast tail kicks and moby has it. smartly he turns to take his prize and what... its not coming along and now the great white one is tugging and turning and diving but its loosing the fight to what? obviously the hand of god himself. the surface is broken and the heaviness of the slab out of water surprisse even the mighty moby slab himself. and mobys last thought is that low tis not the lord who has plucked him form his home but just some slob in a worn plaid lined coat sporting a shiteating grin.
merry christmas yall.
Menrats--that was beautiful!!!
A Very Merry Christmas to you and your family and to the AzCrappie members--May God Bless you all--
Very nice Tom - I have it printed out for your reading at the campfire at Moby 3.0.

Vary nice Tom. Thank you and Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to everyone.

Ba humbug, that was a good verse :headbang:
One word for Tom's soliloquy, medicinal O0
Need to send that in to crappie world magazine!
Missed you,,, looked for the meeting at SB Cove but I guess I was in the wrong place??? Spent 3 of the last 5 days North of the island. Did O.K.! Going back tomorrow (Monday),,, Got an idea :dance: My new boat is an Alumacraft Fisherman 160, 40HP 4 stroke with the PVC (white) rod holders and Lime Green anchor rope (used to be a pocket hose). I also marked some "stacked" fish around the buoys! Wave when you go by!
