Roofer Billy Report post Posted Saturday at 05:54 PM Top water bite from 5:15 to 7:30 this morning was absolutely amazing. 27 Bass landed . Biggest went around 7 . Didn't weigh any . The bite was to good to stop. 😀. Just pulled into my favorite cove. Throwing up some shade. And my Dad has caught two crappie already. Just threw two rods out, and two minutes later two nice crappie. . going to be a good day. Going to get windy later. That's okay. Gives me time to rest and clean some of the crappie. And make lunch. Crappie nuggets fried in Marie Calenders cornbread mix,Cole slaw,and corn fritters,and Cajun fries. Mmmm 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has gained about 40 pounds back and is in really good shape. Always working on something or walking, riding horses, and just really enjoying life right now. Thank you for asking. He is Kicking my butt in fishing. About a 3 to 1 ratio sometimes even more. He sure can catch them on that dang buzz bait. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crappie bite on minnows. Was very slow going at first light this morning. Anything the you could crank on. (Example) Small fat rap,lipless cranks,spinner bait,crappie jig,panther martins ,small swim jig..Dad and I went straight from the dock to the cove Dad and I always fish. Water level is down from a couple weeks ago. About 4.5 vertical feet. Had a nicer area to beach and sit. We never moved from that spot from 530 to 130 and caught over 100 fish. All crappie except for one 3 pound bass. That cove is amazing. It always produces fish. Dad set in the back seat of the boat and for 3 hours straight he threw anything he could tie on. Lures that have set in his tackle box for 40 years. And caught crappie non stop. A couple natives wanted some fish so we gave them my 25 limit. And brought 20 home . Weighed the bag with them in it. And 37.8 pounds was the weight. Totally wore out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
