Looks like John T and myself on for Guist for Thursday morning. Have not fished the lake in about 3 years and he has not fished it very much either so it will be out version of "A Day on the Lake". Taking both FNF rods and letting John try it out as well, just may snag one on the drop and if it is one of those Big Hybrids we will just hang on and chase with the trolling motor. Targeting Green Carp and surely we will catch at least one apiece to put in before daylight and no leaving until the one per person quota is met. We may still be there on Friday so somebody may have to bring us breakfast and Lunch Friday if needed. Full report when we get off the water, looking forward to meeting you John at the ramp.

Hey Elwood, do you have one of those chairs in the back of your boat I can strap into to fight them monsters? I think I might need it

Back seat is securely mounted to the pedestal and even have some tie down straps that I use when I am trolling 5 rods for stripers that I have rigged up. Can use these straps if needed but I have yet to come across one of those Green Carps that fight anywhere near enough for the extra support. If we were at Dale and I knew you would be in a tussy with one of those 5+ Brownfish then we would defineately have to add extra tie downs to the chairs and maybe need to add one of those Salt water fighting seats that swivel and everything. With neither of us knowing Guist very well, low to mid 40 degree stained water conditions, we will be lucky to catch 5 fish all day long. Any more than that and we would have won the Guist Creek Bassmaster Classic if there was one that day. Looking forward to it. I will be throwing the fly a bit to see what happens and will bring my second rod to let you join in the fun when they start hitting it. I figure a nice fly suspended just above the cover will tempt any of them to hit. Hoping for lightly stained water and not chocolate milk. They will hit it in the Wolfe River in stained water so they may hit it in Guist. Probably the only FNF jig these fish have ever seen so it will be an adventure.
