Did anyone make it down today, was wondering if the gate was up yet?

[biggw]

Yes Banditman me and billy were there today no gate yet....

[BanditMan]

Well come on, how did you do??????

[MrSplitshot]

Yeah, how'd you do????

It was killing me that I couldn't get out there today, but then I heard the wind howling like a wolf, chased my patio furniture around the backyard, and swept leaves out of my garage just from opening the door...figured maybe it wasn't so bad not being able to go after all. LOL!!!

[BanditMan]

It's taking way to long for the results... Tip # 1, Put the story together before you leave the water LMAO!!!!! :P

[MrSplitshot]

Yep, you're right....they're on the phone right now making sure that their stories both jive....

LOL

[biggw]

O I,M sorry did you guys want to know how it went today lol ha ha----Well here it is it was a great day--29 fish few keepers--Billy kicked my butt dead lineing that fly ---but i did get some of them caught my fist smallmouth today on that free fnf stuff i won off Billy last sat. lol--YES i had a great time and so did he--right Billy???

[biggw]

And we had the creek to our selfs lol--YES HAD ALOT OF HITS THAT WE MISSED<---> lot of it was due to that wind....x(

[MrSplitshot]

The deadline strikes again...gotta watch that Elkins feller.

My new 8' rod should arrive Monday and I'll be a deadlining fool this coming Saturday...I've always got a handle on the fool part, but I've got to work on my deadlining.

I guess the float-n-fly without the float is...well...just a fly. LOL

Glad yall caught plenty of fish...where are the bigguns this fall?

[biggw]

Well i say once that water cools down and stays there for awhile the Big ones should start hitting--Today when we got there the water was 58 thats ten up on last sat.--That will kill the big bite--when we left temp was back down to 53 Big fish just don,t like that--lol

[MrSplitshot]

58? Dang. I knew it would come up with the warmer temps this week, but that's a bit more than I thought. Of course, it was 77 Friday.

Did you throw anything other than jigs? Wonder about the crankbait or jig-n-pig bite.

[redneckshadrap]

I guess the only one of the clan left to dust off from the back of the boat with the fly is ...Wormin, and I ain't goin' there....////LOL!!!!!!!!!!!


I had a much needed day on the creek with Big GW. The week was a tough one on me.
I got down there about 7:30am. IT was about 62degrees. It had rained some, but not enough to do any real damage to the creek. I pulled in, got out to pay the money, and here comes the dogs. I pet all three. I know they miss being in the house. Heck, I miss going in the house my self. I petted them. Took a picture of one(this has a meaning).
I went ahead and got rain geared up.

Big GW pulled in we didn't waste anytime getting in the water. Headed straight to the ---------. Had 2 fish on the deadline real quick...Then El Nino/ Squall/ Gall Force winds hit us hard....Phase1 of the cold front.
Big GW found us a spot in the clear and we fished until it past.
The bite was slow at that point.
Around noon the torential rain hit, when it did the fish turned on. We caught quite a few real quick.
Air temp started getting noticably cooler. The rain quit.

Fly TIME...

BigGW dusted of that St Croix and caught his first F-n-F fish. Grinned like a possum in a Mulberry tree....then it happened. He caught his first Stoner Creek smallie on the fly.

We caught 29 fish in all. It's healthly to say at least 18 of them were on the fly....most deadlined....GW's on the float. The wind was tough at time trying to deadline. We had several pull downs that we didn't hookup with maybe it was some small crappie or gills.
5 different colored flys caught fish.

Would like to thank George for having me in his boat. There's something about those Uncles/Bro-in-laws/nephews...good folks.

Now for the kicker. When I got back to my truck, one of those coon dogs left me a big pile of going away present at my drivers door of my truck. Needless to say I had to drive home in my sockfeet because both boots were dog=pooped up....LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thanks George...

Billy
