Early morning drift!!
 

Attachment 34681

It's 6:30 and the drift is already cut off!! Wait til I get in casting distance! I hope you like spook for breakfast...

LOL!!!!!!!

Keep an eye out for that weather!

Looks like birds workin already

You own the lake?
 

As long as those guys aren't running up on you whats the big deal.. It looks like they are a few 100 yards away, unless the pic doesn't do justice. I'm not trying to call you out, but that far away and they are messing up your fishing? Did they run up on the spot or just troll and drift? I appologize in advance if they are closer than they appear, but everyone can't fish half the lake alone..

Looks like a black 21ft haynie! Just sayin

Thats what I was thinking.

Let's see them figure 8's!!!

It's not our man, the motor is sitting to low in the water.

Well, maybe the boat in the back is.

I know where that's at. Big reds under birds

Nope its not who think it is the guy operating the trolling motor is too tall

Plus if you talking bout "w" he leaving for work today he's prolly on a chopper as we speak

not me......for two reasons
#1 where this is located as said above....that's nothing but big old trash bull reds
#2 I would be sitting on a reef at 630 not chasing birds

We were drifting a reef and birds starting working just down little bit right in the direction of our drift, and three boats came in between us and the birds. I mean they weren't in casting distance yet but they could have taken a different approach is all I'm saying. No feelings hurt here just I think we could have taken a better approach to share the wealth! lol

Hey W. Can u confirm the skeeter in inchspinners thread?

how do you know there is a reef where you are fishing, or how do you find them other than trackin down gps coordinates? I never did understand how yall know reefs are there. I have tried to tell the difference with my sonar, but just don't get it. I still have the tendency to beat the banks like I have always done bass fishin, or I fish workin birds. I never do too well fishin out in the middle like those pics above.

It sure looks like the same boat

Lol that dudes everywhere lol

bull 1134... you have to know what you are looking for in your depth finder for one.... you can feel it with your jig... years of experience and searching... GPS coords... LUCK.... and potlicking W always helps pahahahahahha.

potlicking W always helps

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just feel the bottom with your rod tip. If it's rocky and ur tip comes up broken ur on a reef lol. If it's soft ur in mud. On depth finder you can see a slight rise in depth on the reefs.

yep thats another way :rolleyes:.

Pvc pipe my brutha....jiggin the bottom here and there....also i think hook and line shows some reefs if im not mistaken....

X2 on the pvc pipes. I have two 10' pipes I keep in my boat.my dad used to drive the boat and id sound the bottom. Found plenty of little reefs this way.

Do u have a Grey Skeeter with a Talon??

Lol

you need to get the super duper reef finding machine. they are sold at fine retailers everywhere and for a nominal fee you can find reefs just like ole W.



make a trip to your local hardware store get ur hands on an 8-10' piece of pvc to keep in your boat. probe the bottom and compare to your sonar, this will help you learn the differences

Or get a piece of heavy chain and some smaller chain. 20'. If drag it on the bottom while it is cleated off and you can hear the reef.

If you did this...... I would think this would scare the fish and they would move off the reef.

You would have to come back later to fish there.

nope, can't miss me if you potlick me though. I just troll right up to ya and start pissin...works every time.

lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was you! Jk!!!

Lol

thanks yall, those are great suggestions, appreciate it.

oh, I'm not kiddin, the look on peoples face is priceless! of course, I only do that to people who motor up to me. I swear, that is the most rude thing to do, especially when they have a trollin motor sittin right there on the front of their boat. Hell, I'm a newbie to all this, and even I know better than that.

Did yall catch this morning??

I hear ya man.. i hope ya'll tearing them up....

My new Reef finder ...SpeckDaddy made me a Wille Hook.....

W said the best way to find a reef is to lower your power pole and drive until you can hear it dragging the reef.

Best way is to just run up to boats fishing on anchor and mark them:D:D

I will admit I did this once about 3 years ago..Did not motor just trollmotor ...

I knew some guys were sitting on a small reef of the east bank that I never could find when no boats were around....So one day they had two boats on it...So i drifted in a good bit...Mark and left..

Came back later and drug bottom until I found it.......:smokin:

U need 2 send dis big boy named Reel Bender a pm and ask him to come run yer boat. Guarantee he will find da reefs 4 U :grinpimp:

I catch in a couple sacks of Oysters every time I fish Big Lake.
Reefs are everywhere down there.
