The best day of the fishing year for elnut

[elnutsmalljaws]

Man................you have it BAD..........but I did the same thing a couple days ago.

I have all 3 fnf rods tied up, and ready to go.........I'm not taking any bait casters to Dale with me next friday, at least as of now I'm not.

I do have 4 spinning outfits locked and loaded though.

Later,

You need the baitcasters George for one of two things. First of all it is going to be COLD if you look at the forecast so the turnover may start but either way. You need them for the 1/2 and 3/4 oz Football Head Jigs to fish the points deep if the turnover has not started and if it has, then switch to shallow crankbaits and parallel the banks in shallow water for the Smallies will move shallow, I am talking 1-2 feet deep shallow to try and get some oxygen from the waves hitting the bank. Either way the baitcaster with 10lb flourocarbon is the best ticket for both. You could even get away with 14lb Flourocarbon on the 3/4 oz Football Head Jig fished in the 20-30 feet deep range. I know you like Spinning your fish in but break out the Johnny Morris Baitcasters and try and let Johnny catch a couple for you.

Mr. Certifyable FloatNflyable,

I can see you in the blowing snow
With all your rods and “ducks” in a row
Sitting in your “Deep V” full of hope
With your lips coated with “fish dope”

With a squiggle of the swivel
And jerk-down of the bobber
If you are not careful that O’Brown fish
Will be a duck-feather “fly-robber”

Whether you use XPS, Firline or Flouro
You may be in for an acrobatic enduro
So hold on to your well-oil Okuma
And get ready for the “Smalljaw Rumba”

Whether it be a “Last Cast Jig”
Or a “Fling Fast Long Rig”
It will not be the “Paca Craw” trailer
But the well-learned skill of an old sailor”

It matters not if it is a an “Silstar” or “G-Loomis”
Or some well-tucked trick out of the boot
You could be left ripped and mangled
By some old hungry, well-webbed coot

So keep your leader measured
And keep your butt on the Float and fly throne
If you become a little under balanced
Grab a moon pie and get back in the strike zone

You just don’t know
When that well-oiled Okuma
Will start doing the quiver and shake
Causing Mr. Certifyable to do the “Smalljaw Rumba”

By all means
Before your forward cast
Make sure your rod is locked and loaded
And may all your casts be your very best

Between you and 3sons writing these songs and poems about me and the FNF I could start an album, only if I could sing and trust me NOBODY wants to hear that. 5 days at Dale with you two in the boat and the cabin 24/7 and we might just have to put out a CD of all your greatest hits. Now get back to work for UK Hospital is not paying you to be a Poet, they are paying you to Respiratory Therapy somebody. thanks again, bone
