Even a blind acorn finds a nut every once and a while...

Postby orvis1 » Feb 08, '09, 8:27

After the past 4 trips of getting the skunk something had to change. After reading some encouraging reports Stevo and I headed up to the berry. We tried one location with me missing one bite and Stevo having one unbutton at the hole. Very light bite today and if the technique was not spot on you didn’t get another chance. We had a bunch of one and done bites today used tube jigs and crawdad meat, minnow, and meal worms. Stevo ended up with the large fish of the day at 20 ½ inches I hope the picture is in his camera because for some reason the one by the tape measure was not in mine. I ended up with 3, which was 3x better than my last couple of trips that is for sure! My top one taped at 20” and 18 ½ and a 17 slotberry cuts. Funny how the fish seem to look so much smaller in pictures good thing for tape measures! Thanks again for the trip Stevo had a great time.

Good deal Orvis. Glad you got into a few. Did you stay all day? Did it snow up there today? Where are the food pics?

Alright! I was afraid you were about to sell off your fishing stuff and take up bowling. :wink:

Good looking cutts, there. :)

why would an acorn want a nut?

Orvie, be careful with that Stevo if you are on your Grizzlies; he has been known to shoot at ATV's. That is the single funniest story I have ever read on here! :lol:

Oh and congrats on the fish!

Well at least you chased off that skunk. Good for you.

The one in that first pic looks pretty well fed. That's nice to see.
