Potlicking 101

[Duck Butter]

Don't have my camera cord but I will post some pics of the fish and the 'potlicker' next week. Here is the story:

We fished on the Atchafalaya yesterday afternoon, me a buddy and another couple of buddies in their boat. Canal is about 100 yards wide, a few people fishing no big deal. Everyone is pretty much fishing the edges of the trees and having not much luck. We go in the woods and start catching em in about a foot of water. Big boat comes by and sees us catch one he stops no big deal (wakes the heck out of us when he does). Asks us if we are catching, yeah a few. We catch another one, he asks all kinds of questions we tell em they are real shallow. We are clearly fishing our way south on the east side of the canal. Our other buddies are fishing the other side a little ahead of us. Guy says he appreciates the info and he is gonna try what we are doing (again great no big deal catch some fish), he literally cranks up and drives 100 yards IN FRONT of us the way we are heading and starts fishing. I took a picture of his boat and being this was the first time I have ever been there I wanted to go explore a little more anyway. We head south a mile or so and start fishing the bank. Pretty peaceful most the boats had left because they were not catching in the runouts anymore. Later on, we see our buddies about 1/4 mile back there and this same guy is fishing behind them and PASSES them up eventually! They couldn't believe it, they went to the other side and finished up the day. Never seen anything like it, and I am going out on a limb and going to say these guys are bass fishermen that heard a report but don't know how to catch sacaulait. We did really well in the shallows even though we had a few disturbances
