I'm worn and beaten and the only cure is a bayou "ditch" that holds FAT slabs shallow in an early southerly winter.

I love this place. Last time I got to fish it, I didn't do good great numbers wise but the fish have shoulders. Would rather have 15 of them than 25 and 1/2 of my local river fish. Maybeeee even 30. Lately at least… so those numbers are pending the re election…of yalls president.

I've got a 5 hr window of opportunity Sat morn. I have 2 handmade jigs to sink as of now and this to overcome tomor after work to get more done

Will be a lot of uncured eyeless jig heads with unkempt feathers surgically probing lay-downs, cement pylons, wooden pylons, drainage culverts, and the ever do sheisty beaver dam s this sat morn.
Happy Happy Happy

I prob just set myself up for failure.

I'll post prior pics to this place if I fail and pretend they are recent.

Excuse the rant, just excited, which I don't get very often.

Too da Loo

Baaaaahahahahaha!! Drinking and posting is ALWAYS entertaining.

 

[AtticaFish]

The anticipation is half the fun. I work myself up to the roof before most every day i get off and know i am going to be out on the water. Best of luck..... at getting ready for the trip and for the fishing.

Wish I had that problem!!! To darn cold here!!

 

[Lost Pole]

What's all this drinking talk about?

I'm tellin y'all these fish have shoulders big enough to hold bazookas. They loooooove em some grass shrimp, so I'm going to come up with something simple for em tonight.

 

[Fatman]

Buildin up a full head of steam!!!!!!!!!!LOL Get em!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Radtexan]

Only thing missing from the pick is YOU sitting down getting some dang jigs tied for the trip................

Keep us posted

 

[Radtexan]

Thanx but I'm just lookin for a good color for our local forage. I think I can probably just tweak my sand color.

 

[Lost Pole]

Rog, Haaaa. You're inspirational. It'll be reverse order though. I can't operate in chaos. Just hoping I still get to go.

Ronny, Doug's got you covered. If I were trying to imitate Just COLOR.... A clear off white with slight hint of pink/beige.

A guy Did a cool version on CDC with larva lace. I'll find it and send you a link.

 

[CrappieHappy]

well, you should have a clean tying area by now, wheres the new jig additions..?

 

[Fatman]

Lost I saw that tie and it was nice!!!!!!!! Was looking on my fly tying board for one a guy did, and it wouldn't be hard to do on a jig. I'll have to see if I can find it.

 

[quivira kid]

Go get em tomorrow!

 

[Jig Man]

Still ain't seein no fish picures....

 

[Lost Pole]

And you won't. Caught a lousy 4. Gave em to the elderly lady fishing off top of bridge. Wasn't meant to be I s'pose. Don't think I'd've caught a smile if'n I'd filled the cooler or the whole boat anyways. When it pours its grey for a long time around me.

Appreciate all the looks and kind words.
Done for a while.

 

[quivira kid]

Eh, some days it just isn't meant to be. We got our tails handed to us today too.
