Guist Creek Thursday....

[jcb]

Jigs is what you want to fish, any color as long as it's black and blue.

Gotta go against this one at Guist this time of year, especially with stained water--gotta go with black/chartreuse.

Trust me fellas, there will be PLENTY of baits soaked tomorrow. Plan is to throw the fly with the most Chartr that I can find early just to say I did it and hopefully to catch one but we will see. Taking 5 rods plus FNF rods, jerkbait, 2 different jigs, shaky head and crankbait. Surely we will get one taker or two tomorrow. Black and chartr crankbaits, Green Pumpkin shaky head with chartr tail, black and blue plus black and chartr jigs will probably be fished the most.

I just talked to the guy at the Marina at Guist. I now have a new goal for Thursday, ONE BITE. He said there were several boats out yesterday and NOBODY caught anything. Water is 43 and stained to EXTREMELY stained in some places. No maps available anymore of which I had one a couple of years ago but not anymore. He also said the lake had silted in a lot in the past couple of years as well. The lake was not that deep in spots to begin with when I did fish it and with more silt it will be even more shallow. Looks like John and myself will be searching for the elusive Green Carp all day long. One Bite and the day is a success, One Fish caught and we exceed all expectations more than that and I hope the Classic is fished there on Friday for we will pay our entry fee and hope for the best. I will still throw the fly early in HOPES of a pulldown. See ya

Prognosis doesn't sound good, which is why I asked about the chair with straps; so I don't fall out when I fall asleep. We will have a good time anyway. cya

My singing and pleading for the "Fatties and Baby Cubs" to start biting will more than keep you awake. Tough to go to sleep with a pounding headache and earache. You may jump out and swim back to the ramp after the first chorus or two. Clebo was hating life a couple of saturdays ago when the bite shut down for me at 11am and we fished to dark. He caught up and tied me in the afternoon but I could not get a sniff from anything. Sang Zona's version and my own version of the "Baby Cub" song and was begging for "Fatties" the last 3 hours on the water.
