Where you fishin' this Labor Day weekend?

[weezer71]

Fishing at my aunt/uncles pond that I just started to fish a few weeks ago. Before that I haven't went fishing in this pond since I was about 10yrs old. Don't ask me why #-o 1 Must have had a brain fart for the past 25+ yrs or so. This pond is loaded! I don't think many other people have fished it either, so I'll help with the population control.

Update #2: Went out to a local late tonight by myself. Fished for about 4 hours and totally enjoyed the day/weather. Could not have been better. Had a hard time finding fish. Had one bite all night, and was lucky enough to catch it. Large mouth bass that fought harder than any I've caught all year. About 3 lb. Made a good night great. Too bad I couldn't find anymore. The good thing was that all the other anglers told me they struck out. I might have caught the only fish tonight. Makes me feel like I'm doing something right...even if it's being lucky.

We were at my brother-in-laws all weekend out of town, and he has his own pond, but I didn't even take my fishing gear (or my camera). Maybe I'll fish next season if it's not as hot as it was this summer.

I was hoping to get out on Presque Isle Bay, Lake Erie in a rental boat at least once this weekend. Unfortunately the back / sciatica forced me to stay in most of the weekend. Maybe later this week.

Taking my daughter to Wappapello in the morning hoping to run down a few crappie.

In Tennessee, Labor Day is often considered the end of boating season for many folks and anyone who has anything that floats and has a prop attached to it will be on the water one last time. I just don't enjoy being out with that many folks so I avoid the lakes like the plague during Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and Labor Day. I have the luxury of being able to fish during the week and work on the weekends if I want to so I don't see the need to get out during holidays. Besides, my favorite time to fish is in the dead of winter when there is nobody on the water but hardcore fishermen.

I managed to get out Saturday. Went to Lake Evergreen, agian, the one we had the tournament on.
this time I took our 2 Shih Tzu's, the wife went to Chi-town with her dad, and my youngest and his fiancie. I wanted to see how the dogs would react to the boat, and fishing.
Not more than 5 mintues after I strat trolling looking for a crib I marked last time I hear a splash and notice one of them in the water, she wasnt sure where to go, I called her and she swam back to the boat, hauled her in by the back of the neck. 5 minutes later the other one went for a swim, repeated the process. Needless to say they stayed in teh boat the rest of the day.

As for fishing, caught a crappie and a bluegill not much bigger than the hook.

Hey Codeman...how was your Wappapello trip? I've been thinking of heading down there for a long weekend. I haven't been there for 30 years though....and then it was low and nothing but mossy.
