Atta boy Randy (& Dave) - leave the dresses home (jk), dress for success &
you can catch em as long as you can wet a line. Using those tiny jigs might
just be the ticket Randy, might even try the float-n-fly out there.

I've got my final tourney in the morning, looking forward to trying out my
new goggles & $40 Cabelas socks. Might even rain too, whoopie!
Thundercat'll be there too, wish us luck.

Dave called today, asked if I wanted to float a boat and catch some
crappies. The wife and kids were out and work was done for the day, we had
about 45 minutes till dark so what the heck. The boat had already been
stored under the deck but not covered, we hoisted it on top of his Honda
and treked the mile to the lake. The lake was flat as flat could be, but
starting to get very cold out as light drifted away. We fished for about
twenty minutes with both of us setting hooks on everything and anything
but not a fish. We were fishing some samll 1/4 oz wal mart jigs with white
grub twisty tails.. you know the pre-packaged ones 5 for 1.50 type. I got
a good bite and yanked back... an my pole doubles over, (this is no
crappie here). the fish surged down and would not come up, I eventually
lost him in the sticks down below on my 6 lb test. We fished for a bit and
then Dave switched to a white grub too. We were drifting back in as it got
dark right past the spot where my fish got off and Dave hooks into a good
fish. His rod is doubled down as the fish just dove under the boat
repeatedly.. but check the smile on ABPF when he landed the beaut!!! Was
it the same fish? I doubt it, more likely there were a few holding there,
I'll never doubt you again Warren.. I guess it's not over until it's over.
If not for it getting dark and colder we might have had a chance at a few
more in those sticks. Maybe tomorrow.
