Good morning, all!

More chances at greatness today. Don't let them pass you by without capitalizing on them.

We're all woking today except that Tom guy @tharbin but he's earned his non-working status. I'm just a working man.


Good morning Chris!

to late to clean the fish last night when we got back, Fish are on ice, fixing to go filet up crappie, hybrid bass, and spotted bass. will take a few pics to share
 
Did you have fun and catch a lot?
we had a blast, the fishing was real slow the first 4 hours, I am talking no fish slow. we were talking about calling it a day after we ate lunch on the boat. But it really took off after early afternoon, Have a few bass (spotted and hybrid) , but the rest are crappie, I think the total is close to 20 fish. will know for sure when I am done cleaning them, they are on ice

Bass are fun to catch! Used to go fishing on the lake with my dad back when we had a lake house. We would try to go for striped bass, but usually would end up with crappie and spotted bass.
 
Good morning Peeps!

Good morning Kevin! Nice score on those euphyllia!
Sorry to hear you got crabs in Cleveland. Does your wife know about this? They have a shampoo you can use to get rid of those.
 
Sounds like the first four hours were crappie!
Meet some new friends at the park/boat ramp coming out of the water, some adults from West Point had a bunch young adults there fishing at the park, they needed some knot tying information, I was happy to help.
 
I was looking at them on salt critters website last night and added several to my cart but didn't actually buy them but I really want to... 😆
DO IT!!
