Well not a bad day at all. We put in at Whippernock got on the trolling took a left went up the creek for a right good ways. We picked up three up that way. Fished our way back out to the bridge fish the area from the bridge to the power lines picked up five more. The water conditions are stained with foot to a foot and a half of clarity from the Campground to the power lines. From the Campground up the creek the clarity was much less. Water temperature 70 to 72 degrees. Best five weighed in at 16lbs 1oz it took 8 hours to do it but it's the best day I've had this year. All three of these young ladies were caught in a 75 yard stretch 3.8 4.4 4.11

Sam I'm headed out in the morning with my uncle in law from Georgia. We went to the public boat ramp this afternoon and talked to a couple of guys both said the water was stained/murky yes the guy from Illinois said murky but has I have found out over the years everyone's definition on this is different. The water temps are still in the mid to upper 60s. I think I'm going to put in at whippernock so I'm in a central location. I have a couple on spots up the lake from whippnock I want to try and if the water is not to muddied up I may run up the old river and take a shot at the swamp.

Sounds good, Let me know when you are headed to the lake I may be taking that day myself. My work has been crazy , all these people being home not taking vacation and not traveling are spending there money on their homes so I'm taking full advantage of them wanting to send there money on home improvements.

Very much so. I went on a Wednesday afternoon I put in at whippernock and there was already 11 trucks and trailers there. We seen at least 15 boats between whippernock and Lake Chesdin Campground. I don't even try to fish Chesdin on the weekend if I do go on the weekend I make the run up the old river.

I was finally able to get back on the water for a few hours this afternoon. The water temp is still in the mid to upper 60's clarity is a foot to a foot in a half. I took my neighbors grandson he hasn't fished Chesdin before so he got a crash course on how tough it can be. He mainly fishes farm ponds he's not used to getting skunked but to his credit he never got discouraged he kept fishing and is ready to go back. He did get to watch me catch 3 so he does know fish do live there.

Yes! If you ask her this question in two parts both answers will be yes.

I'm lucky, my wife loves to fish has much as I do even when she doesn't want to go she is super cool with me going anytime I want.

Got my little project finished and installed today. I think I'm going to like this. And while I was at it I made a small storage box to go between the seats.

I am home I came back Sunday afternoon.

Not great we caught about 15 in two days nothing over 3lbs but it was an enjoyable trip. We seen alot of beds but the big girls have moved out. The guide said he thinks the cold front pulled them off the beds.

Well guys the time is here. We are getting ready to get on the water for day 1.

I will not be using black! I was looking to see if you can get a similar material in other colors that will bond to PVC.

That's not a bad idea. I'm going to have to look into that.

Yeah I know I'm not going to fine the same carpet but I did something from Cabelas that is close to what my carpet used to be.

Got my deck extension/tackle storages built today now just need to decide what to cover it with.

I am going to extend the front deck on my 87 winner 17" to give me more room on the front deck and for tackle storage. The issue I have is what to cover it with as I said it's an 87 winner and I don't plan on re carpeting the boat but would like to find something close to the color that's in there. So I'm checking to see if anyone has re carpeted there boat and has some scrap pieces left over or knows where I can find some scrap pieces. I need 1 pc 12"x48" and 1 pc 20"x48" close to this color. If anyone else has done something similar to this and has other idea options I'm open for suggestions

My uncle in law lives in Georgia and is wanting to take a guided trim on Onconee so a want to try and put something together for him and I for late spring for his birthday. If anyone has any input it would be greatly appreciated.

One of my girls had a change in plans. Its been many years scents one of my girls spent the day on the water with me. There is a Santa Claus

We do that on Christmas Eve and my girls spend Christmas day with their significant others Family.and most people don't want you to work on their house Christmas day, so fishing it is. That is if I can figure out how to get them to bite in this 42° Water.

I went today for about 4 hours, water temp in low 40s didn't get a bite. Going again tomorrow with my uncle in law from Georgia and we will be drop shotting deep points.

We do our Christmas on Christmas Eve and for years the wife and I went to my brother's on Christmas day to visit the nieces and nephews but he moved to Florida a couple years ago and daughters spend Christmas day with their significant others family so my Christmas day is open therefore

I would say take everything that you have right now for bass fishing find a really good looking spot sit it all on the ground turn and run, run as fast as you can the other way ?? in all seriousness This sport is and can be very addictive and expensive if you are not careful. You are in the right place for any questions you may have everyone on here seem to enjoy passing on information and advice. The only thing I would suggest is, although there is many baits and techniques that bridge the gap across the nation pick the brains of the anglers in your region to fine tune when and what time of year to use what baits and techniques. Always keep an open mind and don't be afraid to try something new. I'm about 8 years into this sport and I'm going fishing Sunday and will be trying a technique that I have never done before and I would be willing to bet there's guys on here with more years in then I do that are still trying new things. Welcome aboard and keep us updated on your progress.
