[SPEAKER_01]: Hope everybody is staying cool.
01:16.335 --> 01:19.337
[SPEAKER_01]: I feared the dog days are upon us now.
01:19.377 --> 01:20.298
[SPEAKER_01]: We had a good run.
01:20.318 --> 01:21.579
[SPEAKER_01]: We had a long, cool.
01:22.900 --> 01:27.382
[SPEAKER_01]: pleasant spring and I feel like now we're going to start paying interest on that.
01:27.442 --> 01:40.946
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm thinking it may be a hot summer but we're we're getting right now into prime blue geol season and so today we're going to talk with Shannon Wood, Shannon how y'all been doing.
01:41.927 --> 01:49.309
[SPEAKER_02]: We've been in a warm and like you said, the dog days and summers sneak it up all fast and few litre days been
01:51.584 --> 01:52.865
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm really glad.
01:52.985 --> 01:55.808
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm glad from, so I go ahead.
01:55.868 --> 02:00.412
[SPEAKER_02]: We went from pretty much what we can have flooding and rain.
02:01.513 --> 02:05.477
[SPEAKER_02]: People swimming in the ditches and canoeing down the streets.
02:05.697 --> 02:06.358
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's it.
02:06.378 --> 02:06.858
[SPEAKER_02]: That's it.
02:07.059 --> 02:07.779
[SPEAKER_02]: That's it.
02:08.908 --> 02:10.669
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's been nasty, man.
02:10.689 --> 02:26.601
[SPEAKER_01]: I want like, I got buddies up in the Pacific Northwest and New England and on the Great Lakes, and you know, they get snowed in, you know, like winter for them is just do nothing season, like you're not fishing, but unless you're ice fishing or something like that, and uh,
02:27.252 --> 02:46.846
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, if you're not doing that, you're just time flies, fletching arrows, cast and bullets, like clean in the garage, catching up on you, dudes, and they're like, man, it must be nice to not have any downtime, and I'm like dude, it's like, change a lot of August, like that's, that's when we're just here and hang out in the air conditioner and do all the stuff that y'all do in December.
02:46.886 --> 02:50.168
[SPEAKER_01]: So I haven't been out with you.
02:50.308 --> 02:53.871
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been just catching up on some work and organizing the garage,
02:55.684 --> 02:56.204
[SPEAKER_01]: I won't lie.
02:56.224 --> 02:57.444
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I won't get out there.
02:57.524 --> 03:06.886
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I was, we'll probably get out this weekend, take kiddo out in the cano do a little bit of fish, but it's back to point of the year, where I'm starting to think ahead of their season.
03:07.127 --> 03:09.027
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, yeah.
03:09.607 --> 03:17.029
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, it's like, like I said, this is a thing, so there's like a lot of people come out there, so there's a lot of people didn't play it.
03:17.489 --> 03:20.469
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, early this year, because my, like, there's a lot of drought there,
03:23.758 --> 03:41.462
[SPEAKER_02]: Some of the food plots probably, and it'd be up before deer seasons, you know, and it's probably still capitalized off over a little bit, but, excuse me, oh, and no, I've been because I've been checking the gamecams pretty regularly, so I always see them as a bunch of fat days.
03:41.522 --> 03:50.264
[SPEAKER_02]: I had dropped no ponds just quite yet, I fell around while we're counting, so, and he said he didn't really notice to any folks running around and veiled it yet, so, so, I
03:50.677 --> 04:17.823
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the most is back in the middle of actually a group of summer groups, you know, things like that, but I think it's, it's little things like that, kind of make me wonder and, you know, I look forward to seeing stuff like that, you know, and the ginger or the fish and the beer hunting and all that kind of stuff, you know, it's like, you know, the turkeys and stuff that it's, I think several people said they think good hatches this year
04:19.777 --> 04:25.398
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, that's a plus, you know, on the turkey hunt, see that for the next year, and so on.
04:25.718 --> 04:30.179
[SPEAKER_02]: But like you said, the heat stuff is very catching up to us.
04:30.279 --> 04:34.259
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think we're going to be set for a good weekend.
04:34.780 --> 04:36.400
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a session.
04:36.720 --> 04:37.380
[SPEAKER_02]: I just feel it.
04:37.520 --> 04:41.881
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we got a little, I think there's a chance of a little coup for our first coming in.
04:42.401 --> 04:48.802
[SPEAKER_02]: If I'm not mistaken, so I'm opening a coup law for notes, because I was telling a gentleman the day I was talking to,
04:49.764 --> 05:08.608
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's this hot by 830 now I clocked in the morning, then I ain't gonna be on the water pace, it's not a clock, it's Saturday morning and so forth because he, he made it, he's just been there, you know, but I don't want to put it past to anybody because right now the
05:17.603 --> 05:24.948
[SPEAKER_02]: and I'm going to give you a little seek for what I found over the last week is they have been right up next to the edge of the bank.
05:25.348 --> 05:38.077
[SPEAKER_02]: And I mean, it's like that first thing being able to get a scene to 12 foot off that bank and just hang up whole loader there with a cricket, you can catch them left and right.
05:38.517 --> 05:43.100
[SPEAKER_02]: But the gardener lives really better on the last week,
05:46.176 --> 05:57.663
[SPEAKER_02]: I know I do a lot of, you know, whatever afternoon fishing I get a chance to, that's the work or something other, but keep putting a boat in a mile and a half of the boat launch here and still greet him.
05:58.063 --> 06:01.065
[SPEAKER_02]: That's kind of one of my afternoon fishing spots.
06:01.385 --> 06:07.229
[SPEAKER_02]: I've called him up in there a good bit over the last week and I have, you know, avoid just
06:15.557 --> 06:24.020
[SPEAKER_02]: I've noticed that I've taught the several people and they said that a lot of garlic over the last week, you know, and that sort of stuff.
06:24.080 --> 06:32.763
[SPEAKER_02]: So, which I'm hoping that the ones we don't be over at cliffs laying in this Saturday for a tournament.
06:33.143 --> 06:36.324
[SPEAKER_02]: And so, if anybody's in a risk, you'll come join us.
06:36.844 --> 06:44.167
[SPEAKER_02]: This Saturday morning, Gene the Seaks, we're going to launch at cliffs and take off and have a good go at it, you know,
06:44.592 --> 06:59.639
[SPEAKER_01]: there's some good fishing to get to the cliffs mine and I'm partial to it just because you can get done and uh you can you can go have either a victory or a consolation beer when you're done there to River Pope.
06:59.679 --> 07:07.783
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if I don't know if it's going to be celebratory or a consolation but we probably going to get a beer and then we probably don't go get a barbecue sandwich after
07:13.623 --> 07:18.305
[SPEAKER_02]: They'll ever, he does a good job on that, on that, on them re-ups and stuff.
07:18.345 --> 07:20.325
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I love his sparky rhythms.
07:20.345 --> 07:21.486
[SPEAKER_02]: He cooks.
07:22.306 --> 07:23.906
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that he's so good.
07:24.467 --> 07:28.908
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, we, I'm hoping, hoping for a good turnout.
07:29.148 --> 07:33.490
[SPEAKER_02]: I think this weekend is probably going to be one of the best weekends.
07:33.530 --> 07:37.951
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to say it's probably going to be one of the best weekends we've had in quite a while.
07:38.071 --> 07:40.212
[SPEAKER_02]: We had a last tournament.
07:44.506 --> 07:52.753
[SPEAKER_02]: It was, I guess, two of the weeks ago when we had the last tournament up in Hubbard's, the weight and stuff on the ground.
07:53.413 --> 07:57.517
[SPEAKER_02]: And we had to be winners at our last tournament, the way we were not.
07:57.617 --> 08:01.960
[SPEAKER_02]: At two high school students from Sierra Lehigh School that came and faced.
08:02.581 --> 08:09.586
[SPEAKER_02]: And I noticed that I don't know exactly where they went to, but every one of us,
08:11.167 --> 08:27.873
[SPEAKER_02]: The app had a coffee tournament at that same day, and everybody went north in Herbers at Saturday, and the May flies had, I don't know if they had hit before the tournament, or if they had after, because I didn't find anything that we can.
08:28.513 --> 08:40.457
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, I know the last time I talked to you, and I was talking about the May fly hatches stuff, and then everything, but I've had several people tell me that they've done had one or two May fly hatches already,
08:41.075 --> 08:48.241
[SPEAKER_02]: over around cliffs in that area so I mean I've not been over there had a chance to go over there when it happens.
08:48.681 --> 09:00.790
[SPEAKER_02]: I know I've not seen any make laws and usually right now I've already seen I'm starting to see around still creek in and around that area but I've not seen them yet
09:08.950 --> 09:15.032
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I had a chance to talk to this thank you that day for a little bit.
09:15.512 --> 09:17.973
[SPEAKER_02]: And Sam Harris talking about the fish.
09:18.693 --> 09:25.056
[SPEAKER_02]: And what people was using cricket some worms and things like that, you know, what she was selling.
09:25.516 --> 09:32.978
[SPEAKER_02]: And so forth and she had brought up that she didn't feel like these men are good batting periods for them.
09:33.378 --> 09:33.639
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
09:34.119 --> 09:35.499
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm kind of right there with her,
09:38.363 --> 09:44.565
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank it was her dad, always noticed that if the water went high, you couldn't catch any big ball burial.
09:45.006 --> 09:51.408
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, said the water needed to be right at that height, right at the tip top of that height, but not overflowing in the woods.
09:51.948 --> 09:58.531
[SPEAKER_02]: So that kind of makes sense because this week, you know, replaces that I've called
10:06.209 --> 10:09.451
[SPEAKER_02]: I've kind of straight away from the while on a little bit.
10:09.471 --> 10:14.054
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I took it, but I didn't really throw it as much as I did.
10:14.175 --> 10:16.857
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't really, I had fish with any cricket, something like that.
10:16.877 --> 10:18.998
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's going to last up on fatal sprues.
10:19.398 --> 10:28.825
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm going to have 10 to 10 fatal sprues, but I've called just a handful of brim, and they were just as bad, you know, as if they were all bad.
10:35.447 --> 10:59.797
[SPEAKER_02]: of catching on on a full-fledged bed yet where you're catching five or six, seven or eight often when they are, you know, like a good bed of, I mean, unless it's kind of one of those things where we've talked about it in the past where you just got to catch two or three off of it, move a little ways and kind of circle you way back, and that's the way we pretty much
11:02.703 --> 11:19.231
[SPEAKER_02]: is people's talk about not having a home baby if they say over where they was on bandit year, they were not on bandit year, or where they're on bandit year, where they say if they weren't, they were last year, or where they were, they were not last year, they were not bandit year.
11:19.631 --> 11:31.097
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I don't know how much, you know, I'm not, no, I'm not a logic fan, feature or anything on fish, but I feel like I would think
11:31.632 --> 11:47.400
[SPEAKER_02]: those times, because I've heard so many old times tell me, well, I can go four or five years kitchen, fish out the same bed at area, you know, and then all of a sudden, well, what happened after a year or four or five, you can set this up where they go.
11:48.260 --> 11:58.225
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, I'm hoping that maybe the change and the water's dropping, so I don't think it's going to be quite as high
12:01.767 --> 12:04.569
[SPEAKER_02]: just after a lot of the water should be perfect by this weekend.
12:05.170 --> 12:11.454
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't think really, I haven't really looked as forecast no further, and I try to keep up with it.
12:11.514 --> 12:18.740
[SPEAKER_02]: But over the last year or two, I had, but I don't think we're staying in a chance of any rain that I could like go.
12:19.220 --> 12:27.366
[SPEAKER_02]: So, which, you know, everybody tells me, so the rain we get down here does an effect because like the rain we get in the north, you know, that comes down.
12:27.827 --> 12:28.127
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
12:30.630 --> 12:42.539
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't have much of faith, you know, the local rain is taking, I mean, it rained here, my house, it said soon last night and early this morning, but, you know, it was pretty much gone before daylight.
12:43.516 --> 12:46.500
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I got to look at it a little bit.
12:46.520 --> 12:48.862
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I checked this morning last time I looked.
12:49.623 --> 12:54.629
[SPEAKER_01]: Barry was sitting right there at the coast of like that seven foot action stage.
12:54.669 --> 12:59.595
[SPEAKER_01]: It was at like 7.6 or no, not 7.6, like 6.7, 6.8, something like that.
13:01.998 --> 13:06.101
[SPEAKER_01]: It was it was steady for as far out as the head at forecast.
13:06.141 --> 13:09.824
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they usually forecast it out like a, you know, a week or something like that.
13:09.844 --> 13:13.967
[SPEAKER_01]: They'll give you, you know, 34 days five six days out whatever it is.
13:14.047 --> 13:20.112
[SPEAKER_01]: But like it was steady, but the thing that I noticed was it was not showing title fluctuations.
13:20.292 --> 13:25.696
[SPEAKER_01]: So like we're getting some stuff come downstream, but I'm not seeing any crests like there's no movement up or down.
13:25.776 --> 13:28.418
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just enough of the study flow that it looks like.
13:29.470 --> 13:33.913
[SPEAKER_01]: It's offset the title movement, at least up there, you know, it very north of 65.
13:34.113 --> 13:38.456
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, obviously the stuff down here that I've been driving back and forth over on light bay minute creek.
13:38.476 --> 13:40.217
[SPEAKER_01]: You look at the colors away and stuff like that.
13:40.257 --> 13:50.643
[SPEAKER_01]: The tide's going to push it, which is weird, talking about not being a biologist, like I guess I'm not a hydrologist because it's always amazed me, water could be low.
13:50.703 --> 13:56.367
[SPEAKER_01]: It burns like, you know, you could barely be able to get you both off the trailer and then you could drive up upwards and hover to be flooded out.
13:56.919 --> 14:07.468
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and it's stay that way for several days, you'd be like, well, I thought water was supposed to be level, but whatever, I guess I guess you just look at it and got it and got to understand it.
14:09.551 --> 14:14.035
[SPEAKER_01]: serious shallow water anglers rely on stay put anchor to do exactly what the name says.
14:14.355 --> 14:19.780
[SPEAKER_01]: Keep smaller boats locked in place quickly quietly and without the need to drop a heavy noisy hook.
14:20.140 --> 14:30.309
[SPEAKER_01]: Built in the USA and designed for boats under 24 feet, stay put solid fiberglass pulse spikes pair with marine grade bow, stern or drill free motor mounts for quick installation.
14:30.690 --> 14:33.332
[SPEAKER_01]: So more time has spent fishing and less on rigging.
14:33.692 --> 14:43.956
[SPEAKER_01]: Choose from 6-12 foot pole options and the versatile superhandle to stake out on flats, sand bars, or in the pads, affordable, dependable, and proven by English nationwide.
14:44.336 --> 14:47.737
[SPEAKER_01]: Learn more or build a custom kit at stayputanker.com.
14:49.238 --> 14:51.019
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, well, what was it?
14:51.039 --> 14:51.639
[SPEAKER_02]: Two-foot?
14:52.019 --> 14:57.181
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess two-footies together is when we have that big ring or a Friday or week ago, maybe.
14:57.221 --> 14:58.481
[SPEAKER_02]: Sounds like a good idea.
14:58.561 --> 14:58.801
[SPEAKER_02]: I think
15:03.477 --> 15:13.525
[SPEAKER_02]: We too, I went main and Jamie, and if you go to them, if you go to the Tensau River Delta Panthers group page, I think I posted it earlier, a lot of folks don't know my Facebook page.
15:14.285 --> 15:19.609
[SPEAKER_02]: I said a little video, we rode that Friday afternoon after it rained.
15:19.969 --> 15:21.370
[SPEAKER_02]: We rode over to Steel Creek.
15:21.931 --> 15:23.552
[SPEAKER_02]: You could not get it in a parking lot.
15:23.752 --> 15:26.975
[SPEAKER_02]: It was, I mean, the water was that flooded.
15:27.655 --> 15:27.875
[SPEAKER_02]: And it,
15:29.474 --> 15:33.477
[SPEAKER_02]: It's been a while since I've seen it up in the parking lot.
15:33.517 --> 15:35.699
[SPEAKER_02]: Say your bucket was that day.
15:36.419 --> 15:42.024
[SPEAKER_02]: And I went back to the next morning and ever bit of that water that was in the parking lot was down.
15:42.464 --> 15:44.405
[SPEAKER_02]: I made it flushed out in a hurry.
15:45.206 --> 15:51.010
[SPEAKER_02]: So three that runs underneath the vowed there on 43.
15:51.591 --> 15:53.472
[SPEAKER_02]: Leave it safe and I'm coming in to Sarah Langan.
15:53.993 --> 15:55.714
[SPEAKER_02]: I know the state was there working.
15:56.268 --> 16:03.173
[SPEAKER_02]: in that little bit of all around that creek with the railroad tracks for an underneath, I think all that gas flooded.
16:03.233 --> 16:07.036
[SPEAKER_02]: So there was a lot of rain that one Friday.
16:07.516 --> 16:14.801
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think somebody told me if they lived and they thought we had 11 inches just on that Friday.
16:15.261 --> 16:17.163
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, man, that's a lot of rain.
16:17.363 --> 16:18.944
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't follow so fast.
16:25.240 --> 16:26.821
[SPEAKER_02]: That's Sunday afternoon.
16:27.341 --> 16:29.562
[SPEAKER_02]: I got a little bit of a little break in the twenty rings.
16:29.682 --> 16:31.383
[SPEAKER_02]: That's Sunday afternoon a little bit.
16:32.124 --> 16:35.865
[SPEAKER_02]: And I kind of just settled around with the troller motor.
16:36.446 --> 16:43.309
[SPEAKER_02]: And what was out of the bank on Friday and Saturday was in the bank on Sunday.
16:43.909 --> 16:44.790
[SPEAKER_02]: I Sunday after that.
16:45.230 --> 16:50.053
[SPEAKER_02]: And then it was again light Monday or Tuesday was kind of up back out of the bank.
16:55.173 --> 17:07.164
[SPEAKER_02]: But I see a back-to-back, you know, where the water's coming out out of the bay, you know, hot dog, you can just about go to Chick-a-Soul, Chick-a-Soul, and it will cover that boat watch.
17:07.324 --> 17:08.825
[SPEAKER_02]: The park a lot and everything.
17:09.306 --> 17:12.228
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's when you know that time's ready to ensure her.
17:12.709 --> 17:16.652
[SPEAKER_02]: And then when it goes out, it kind of goes out with it right there.
17:17.113 --> 17:21.837
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think because we're Chick-soul and, you know, off the hook,
17:22.274 --> 17:40.323
[SPEAKER_02]: boat's launch and stuff is the bait and tackle store there, you know, so when that tide goes out into the little bay there, that's kind of on that ship channel, rather along the dot along the boat's stuff, does that stuff come in and goes, and the ship's coming in.
17:40.403 --> 17:48.787
[SPEAKER_02]: So when that sucks out, it's looking everything out of Chikosalkry, I think, because, you know, it's today, here,
17:49.274 --> 17:51.355
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't even think I think I don't be in the park a lot.
17:51.575 --> 17:55.958
[SPEAKER_02]: And I went through there a couple of times today but never seen it out in the park a lot today.
17:55.998 --> 18:01.040
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm not sure I had really looked at the pad times the hard time, the hard to load.
18:01.701 --> 18:03.402
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wait, it's supposed to be hard to load.
18:04.202 --> 18:14.267
[SPEAKER_02]: So honestly, truly, I think this weekend, as long as it is, is it, is it, is it, is it, it's very much is dropping from what you could tell at Mary?
18:14.347 --> 18:16.549
[SPEAKER_02]: Or is it, like you said, just scan a screen at that
18:17.808 --> 18:22.289
[SPEAKER_01]: It actually just pulled it up while you were talking and it is showing over the next.
18:23.149 --> 18:30.010
[SPEAKER_01]: If you forecast it out from today, which is the second, it shows it all the way out to like the seventh.
18:30.650 --> 18:37.351
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's dropping from six, seven, two, five, nine is what they're projecting it to drop over the next.
18:38.512 --> 18:42.052
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, one, two, three, four, five, six days, I guess.
18:43.173 --> 18:44.193
[SPEAKER_01]: So it ain't a lot of drops.
18:46.095 --> 18:47.856
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not, you know, a little bit.
18:48.457 --> 19:09.872
[SPEAKER_02]: I think, honestly, truly, is the time, the best patient last year, and I remember we had the high water last year, over at cliffs in certain areas, and in certain creaks up there, when that water level at areas is about six foot, that's about the best patient around cliffs.
19:10.512 --> 19:12.074
[SPEAKER_02]: And I've heard of the people tell me that,
19:15.907 --> 19:24.048
[SPEAKER_02]: walk I was saying before are the weights, the weight of the fish that we're catching in the turn of us this year, they're down.
19:24.468 --> 19:28.569
[SPEAKER_02]: But we've not had the flooding that we've had the last two years.
19:29.229 --> 19:35.490
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I honestly truly don't think the fish have been able to get out into the woods as much.
19:36.130 --> 19:42.111
[SPEAKER_02]: In fact, I mean, that's the only thing I could think of, you know, because on average
19:46.217 --> 19:48.719
[SPEAKER_02]: even 10 pounds on 20 Braille.
19:49.279 --> 19:53.402
[SPEAKER_02]: And this year on average, you look if you hit 6 pounds.
19:53.962 --> 19:54.923
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, on 20 Braille.
19:55.403 --> 20:05.930
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's been, I think, the two boys that won the last tournament, they won by two ounces, and they won with five pounds, 13 ounces.
20:06.470 --> 20:06.830
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think
20:11.408 --> 20:16.510
[SPEAKER_02]: And I noticed like everybody in the tournament went, no one has served with them two boys, they went south.
20:17.431 --> 20:23.794
[SPEAKER_02]: They found heavier, very real, going south of others than what everybody did, fish and no other hope or two guys.
20:24.514 --> 20:33.798
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm kind of, it's going to be exciting to see the weight, so, and plus we had a full name just in the last couple of days.
20:34.279 --> 20:38.561
[SPEAKER_02]: So hopefully, very, they're own data coming all too bad.
20:40.045 --> 20:47.269
[SPEAKER_02]: And maybe we're just having a late this year with Fayette and hopefully this weekend is going to be the perfect weekend for it.
20:47.529 --> 20:54.112
[SPEAKER_02]: I think as far as the water level goes, I think it's rather worth me to pay to catch up big ones.
20:54.573 --> 20:56.694
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, we're just waiting for that water to get right.
20:57.134 --> 21:08.100
[SPEAKER_02]: And I know what I've seen has been a real buddy, but I think if you lay the cricket in front of his face just right, you catch him when it's at 32, you know.
21:09.455 --> 21:12.265
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just being able to find them as a main thing, you know.
21:12.696 --> 21:18.457
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, that bit about finding them, you know, I used to throw a lot of beetle spans.
21:19.118 --> 21:29.380
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I kind of got to where I was just cricket vision and talking to Mr. Darin some this past year or so and watching him just wear a mile on that black beetle span.
21:30.120 --> 21:33.801
[SPEAKER_01]: But I actually, I got an interview with him that I did for an article that we're going to do.
21:33.861 --> 21:36.041
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's going to come out mobile bakekeepers this summer.
21:36.061 --> 21:39.842
[SPEAKER_01]: But I got his, I don't remember if it made the article or not,
21:43.404 --> 21:49.591
[SPEAKER_01]: a black beetle spend that he makes because he's not fishin' the whole area of factory set up.
21:49.631 --> 21:59.642
[SPEAKER_01]: So I need to have him on the show to talk about that, except they kind of cool because I know everybody is watching him if they can get him over there, see how he makes that beetle soon.
22:00.347 --> 22:03.550
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I had it sitting here.
22:03.670 --> 22:13.817
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, it came up in an interview and I've got the note sitting on my desk and I'm just waiting to I'm just waiting for a rainy day to I'll put together a shopping cart and do that thing.
22:13.878 --> 22:19.001
[SPEAKER_01]: But you know, he he talked a lot on the show about using that that beetle spin is a searching pattern.
22:19.342 --> 22:19.742
[SPEAKER_01]: Almost.
22:19.822 --> 22:20.122
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
22:20.162 --> 22:23.445
[SPEAKER_01]: He's just bankbeat and just it can be with the trolling motor and uh,
22:24.558 --> 22:40.371
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, more thought about it, I'm like, you know, yeah, like Bluegeo ain't hard to catch if you find them, but they're hard to find like I wasted some time trying to find them on like side scan and stuff like that, but down here, I just took not head near the look finding beds.
22:41.974 --> 22:42.754
[SPEAKER_01]: on side scan.
22:42.794 --> 22:48.235
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if the budget is shallower or if they just don't show up as well or I made this possibility.
22:48.255 --> 22:49.795
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't know what I'm doing with side scan.
22:49.815 --> 22:50.836
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't have it set up right.
22:50.956 --> 22:57.837
[SPEAKER_01]: But I can see structure, you know, like I can see plenty of shallower, structure, weed, bed lines, stuff like that.
22:57.897 --> 22:59.397
[SPEAKER_01]: I can see some good detail.
22:59.777 --> 23:01.777
[SPEAKER_01]: But I started doing that some more.
23:01.797 --> 23:02.278
[SPEAKER_01]: I've started.
23:02.298 --> 23:08.759
[SPEAKER_01]: You were saying earlier that you were throwing that black beetle spin for the goggle eyes and I've been throwing a lot more beetle spins the past few times I've been out
23:11.033 --> 23:23.502
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, working it like a search pattern and keeping a rod next to me keeping a cricket cage and just covering water sticking and moving and then if you get your hit fish that area with your life bait and I've been working pretty helpful.
23:40.747 --> 23:47.169
[SPEAKER_02]: that you get now, a lot of times, there's no give in them, but they used to be.
23:47.589 --> 23:51.091
[SPEAKER_02]: They're not like a wire hood, you know, for pre-emphasia.
23:51.451 --> 23:57.413
[SPEAKER_02]: I catch myself a lot of times, if most times, the last two or three tournaments, but I've finished.
23:58.013 --> 24:02.234
[SPEAKER_02]: I've gone over and switched over to use in a five,
24:10.231 --> 24:21.358
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm going to use those because that way, if I get on there for something, and I go to pull it, it'll pull loose, but it's straightens that hook out.
24:21.798 --> 24:23.879
[SPEAKER_02]: So I guess I'm just cheap.
24:24.019 --> 24:26.361
[SPEAKER_02]: I take a pair of pliers, I'm in that little back cover.
24:26.381 --> 24:28.382
[SPEAKER_02]: I put it on the trigger, and I'll keep going.
24:28.942 --> 24:32.745
[SPEAKER_02]: And I know some people say, now I'm in the hook, got to throw it away, cut it off.
24:33.065 --> 24:36.367
[SPEAKER_02]: That to me, that takes up too much time starting to look on what I said.
24:37.375 --> 24:45.259
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm Bay of Chief, I'm like a purplier, and I don't know, I keep a fair name on those pliers if I'll tackle bags, so I've learned to just straighten my hook back.
24:45.399 --> 24:51.242
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't even know that for the curve, I might not get it back perfect, but I get it back in depth and I can catch fish, you know.
24:52.002 --> 25:02.227
[SPEAKER_02]: So I thought about, and I've looked at some of, I think it's the jig heads that are, that are just the jig heads, the ATX to itself.
25:02.767 --> 25:04.268
[SPEAKER_02]: They're designed a little bit different.
25:04.740 --> 25:13.886
[SPEAKER_02]: And then I think it's stocking that makes a G-head that is almost like a crooked style G-head with a crooked style hook on it.
25:14.306 --> 25:27.514
[SPEAKER_02]: It's got a wide gap, is that I mean, I'm wondering if switching my G-head out and putting those light-baitless fans would allow more strike compared to, I don't know how much
25:33.648 --> 25:38.491
[SPEAKER_02]: And he was aware of them out with a fatal span, you know, that he was using.
25:38.551 --> 25:47.857
[SPEAKER_02]: So, on the face count of, when I talked to where he talked about, like you were saying, and he used that fatal span to locate this fish, and it's played out.
25:48.057 --> 25:50.299
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I've come to see that it plays out, you know.
25:50.739 --> 25:52.000
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm for sure.
25:52.060 --> 25:52.920
[SPEAKER_01]: I know what you're talking about.
25:52.940 --> 25:55.422
[SPEAKER_01]: I've got some ATX heads, I tied some.
25:56.489 --> 26:19.607
[SPEAKER_01]: crappy jigsaw on this year to fly fish with with my six white I got me some of their like jig heads with the sickle hooks and I like those pretty good bit but I don't know I've thought about it a lot since I started fly time that like you've got such a huge selection of hooks that you could choose from nice you know Japanese made hooks you know you're hiring like Tim
26:22.769 --> 26:34.474
[SPEAKER_01]: Some of those like tungsten jig heads and I've thought a bunch that would be just to tick it like to build some custom blue geolores using some of that A flat tack will hard word.
26:34.554 --> 26:38.756
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been made a little bit nicer than some of the stuff that you get, you know, your true turns and
26:40.077 --> 26:44.640
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, eagle claws and stuff like that, but I haven't got down that rabbit hole yet.
26:44.740 --> 26:45.300
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm saving.
26:45.540 --> 26:47.061
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm saving that one.
26:47.681 --> 26:50.042
[SPEAKER_01]: But I do.
26:50.102 --> 26:56.486
[SPEAKER_01]: I do have their interest be jotted and I do think that the time may be now to go ahead and make that work, but
26:57.630 --> 26:59.111
[SPEAKER_01]: What talk to me a little bit?
26:59.131 --> 27:00.892
[SPEAKER_01]: I know we got that tournament coming up.
27:01.893 --> 27:02.754
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm kind of with you.
27:02.814 --> 27:06.196
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm thinking that it is probably it's got a break loose at some point, right?
27:06.276 --> 27:09.358
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, we've had some good blue geophysion, but it hasn't really been.
27:09.378 --> 27:21.266
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't feel like it's gotten there yet, but if folks want to get out there and give it a try, if they want to register for that tournament, give us those details one more time with folks know what they got to do to sign up.
27:21.827 --> 27:25.489
[SPEAKER_02]: Just basically, they can go to a 10-star River Delta train fish
27:27.122 --> 27:27.682
[SPEAKER_02]: Go on there.
27:28.062 --> 27:33.824
[SPEAKER_02]: Jamie posted the latest flyer over there for cliffs, land, inter gene, the six.
27:33.924 --> 27:38.126
[SPEAKER_02]: Mine and her phone numbers are there, they can call us or show up.
27:38.586 --> 27:45.928
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we're going to start taking entry fees about 445, about 2434, 45 Saturday morning.
27:46.649 --> 27:55.612
[SPEAKER_02]: And we're going to try to get everybody on the water, because I know fun lots went breaking a little earlier, a little earlier each day, so I'm like a safe
27:57.426 --> 28:05.051
[SPEAKER_02]: to let everybody go by 5.30 because it's almost daylight enough now, you know, you can let them go at 5.30 at least.
28:05.231 --> 28:16.638
[SPEAKER_02]: So we're going to try to get that extra 30 minutes sufficient time and then we'll everybody needs to be back at cliffs and float lines by 4.12 and float with start doing the waiting.
28:16.758 --> 28:19.040
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's a good thing about our tournaments.
28:19.100 --> 28:19.800
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't, we don't
28:26.508 --> 28:32.510
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you, it's $20.00 and about $45.00, you might want to stay home.
28:33.570 --> 28:36.771
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, the fish just ain't bought one or the other.
28:37.251 --> 28:37.651
[SPEAKER_01]: That's it.
28:37.691 --> 28:38.092
[SPEAKER_01]: That's it.
28:38.132 --> 28:40.432
[SPEAKER_01]: Either you messed up or the fish aren't cooperate.
28:40.472 --> 28:42.833
[SPEAKER_01]: But either way, it's time to get you a beer and a burger.
28:43.333 --> 28:45.934
[SPEAKER_01]: Go check out the river pub and shotgun barbecue and
28:47.146 --> 28:48.687
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was like a good time.
28:48.707 --> 28:50.368
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope you'll have a good turnout.
28:50.428 --> 28:53.189
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope everybody that's listening in.
28:53.229 --> 29:03.095
[SPEAKER_01]: If you decide to go up there, while we're talking about the river pub and shotgun barbecue, I hope you're getting your crickets from Miss Becky over there at Boutwells, or Josh over there.
29:03.115 --> 29:04.496
[SPEAKER_01]: It's still creaking around Vernon.
29:04.516 --> 29:12.460
[SPEAKER_01]: They've, you know, was talking with him last weekend and that rain, man, that's not something you want if you attack with David or like that kind of,
29:12.905 --> 29:20.028
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, slow as you business down a little bit so hopefully everybody will get out there this weekend and go hammer them and help them out a little bit, man.
29:21.048 --> 29:33.033
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think the world, uh, a lot of the tackle, what the tackle business, you know, especially having a late tackle shot is I'm so draining my wife.
29:43.557 --> 29:45.058
[SPEAKER_02]: just talking to them.
29:45.259 --> 29:52.424
[SPEAKER_02]: It's kind of, I think it might be a little rough, you know, sometimes.
29:52.544 --> 30:00.090
[SPEAKER_02]: And I know the bait tackle shots, the local bait tackle shots, the hurt, real bad the last two years from all the fluid.
30:00.570 --> 30:02.031
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's really hurtled.
30:02.451 --> 30:04.193
[SPEAKER_02]: So I encourage everybody
30:11.535 --> 30:13.676
[SPEAKER_02]: There's several baked tackle shops around.
30:14.036 --> 30:23.139
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I mean, just get them all up, tell them, thank you, let them know what kind of, let them know that they're happy to hear.
30:23.559 --> 30:27.880
[SPEAKER_02]: I think, you know, let's, we've got to give us praise because they really, they put up a lot.
30:27.900 --> 30:31.822
[SPEAKER_02]: They get up early, you know, and they open early, and that sort of thing.
30:31.902 --> 30:34.842
[SPEAKER_02]: So, like, there's a lot of hours into that baked couple shops.
30:34.943 --> 30:39.504
[SPEAKER_02]: I think this baking said she's actually going to open a vanity morning at four o'clock.
30:40.082 --> 31:01.091
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, so if anybody needs anything, runs, she'll swing in there at four o'clock, she'll be open, and you can get your crickets and your worms, and that is, or whatever she's got, you know, and so forth, because I think there's actually two termists that got out of my tournament, and we don't, and I also want to mention, um, I think Grandpa Cotton has his kids'
31:05.882 --> 31:06.202
[SPEAKER_01]: Awesome.
31:06.443 --> 31:06.823
[SPEAKER_01]: Good deal.
31:06.863 --> 31:07.103
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
31:07.123 --> 31:09.225
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a that's a packed weekend right there.
31:09.265 --> 31:12.709
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, y'all, uh, you know, Becky being up.
31:12.789 --> 31:22.278
[SPEAKER_01]: I know I've gone in there a lot of times it to break a day or just before and like there's been days and I got up there early and she'd been up already for an hour or two serving the tournament.
31:22.379 --> 31:22.839
[SPEAKER_01]: So, uh,
31:23.341 --> 31:24.782
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a it's a labor love man.
31:24.822 --> 31:29.166
[SPEAKER_01]: I've talked to were about it like the her and Josh like people do that they're not.
31:30.007 --> 31:31.848
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, they're not doing it in Mike millions.
31:31.868 --> 31:32.769
[SPEAKER_01]: They're doing it.
31:32.789 --> 31:36.412
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what they they want to be doing, you know, they're passionate about it.
31:36.893 --> 31:38.694
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so definitely.
31:40.162 --> 32:06.277
[SPEAKER_01]: you know get out of the get out there go fishing however you can if that's what you got to do stop by the wall more to the bash bro we're not going to blacklist you but uh you know you'll you'll make you any any extra money or hassle that you haven't go into the the smaller shop I've always found that you get that money back in some good advice and uh if you go there make sure that you give open out a belly rope for me there you go there you go yeah what you're saying if you
32:07.037 --> 32:16.643
[SPEAKER_02]: If you need a patient, you can always pick up a lot of real things, but you've got the shots because they usually have plenty of them, you know.
32:16.783 --> 32:17.203
[SPEAKER_01]: That's it.
32:17.263 --> 32:27.709
[SPEAKER_01]: We were talking last week on the show, me and Justin Downham, we got into a ghost chase talking about a zebcaes and that's what my kid, her first rod and real came from Miss Becky's.
32:27.729 --> 32:35.033
[SPEAKER_01]: Zebcaes 33 and we're catching fish on it and making memories, my own building the skills and making memories.
32:36.103 --> 32:47.669
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I'm going to leave you with this, Nick, and each time I was at Coach 33, I got two of them that I just realized, got all the, I got them all old poles.
32:48.309 --> 32:53.972
[SPEAKER_02]: In fact, I don't know if this past, I did, I don't know if I've mentioned it.
32:54.452 --> 32:56.533
[SPEAKER_02]: I got to go down to see much of the young company.
32:56.793 --> 32:58.734
[SPEAKER_02]: I went down to pick up a couple of his lives.
32:59.134 --> 33:00.495
[SPEAKER_02]: That ain't even quite a year.
33:00.895 --> 33:02.155
[SPEAKER_02]: He's kind of having a rough time.
33:02.215 --> 33:03.136
[SPEAKER_02]: I do want everyone to,
33:03.491 --> 33:17.756
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, people don't mind pray for daily care cancer and stuff, and he's got to have a rough time, but he came in a little rod the other day that I still would be perfect because I told him I was looking for one out if I am he's like, no, you just take it.
33:18.156 --> 33:25.239
[SPEAKER_02]: He said it's been sitting in my shop here for probably 10 years, but I finally got me a little.
33:26.640 --> 33:27.900
[SPEAKER_02]: The pistol grip rod.
33:29.141 --> 33:29.941
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't want to come out.
33:30.301 --> 33:30.741
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes sir.
33:31.001 --> 33:32.902
[SPEAKER_02]: They give me a little pistol grip rod.
33:33.457 --> 33:36.820
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm putting this up to 33 on that, I think you used strategy.
33:38.642 --> 33:40.664
[SPEAKER_01]: But it is hard for me.
33:40.944 --> 33:41.505
[SPEAKER_02]: I forgot.
33:42.377 --> 34:07.161
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's in my opinion, if you're like, I do a lot of small crepe fishing and kayaks and stuff and I go through spells where I use and don't use it, but every time I break it out Does that go 33 and a pistol grip out of a kayak is just made in heaven because it's real accurate pistol grip makes it easier to fish it's short, it's handy like if you go and under the bushes and through the bushes and just tight quarters fishing
34:08.162 --> 34:08.582
[SPEAKER_01]: They're great.
34:08.822 --> 34:09.183
[SPEAKER_01]: How lovely.
34:09.223 --> 34:10.123
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm making it.
34:10.183 --> 34:11.284
[SPEAKER_01]: It just harkens back.
34:11.464 --> 34:11.684
[SPEAKER_01]: I have.
34:12.124 --> 34:13.165
[SPEAKER_01]: I had to get different.
34:14.286 --> 34:14.606
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
34:14.786 --> 34:17.428
[SPEAKER_02]: And I've, I've almost forgot how to throw those.
34:17.448 --> 34:19.409
[SPEAKER_02]: Because there's three, two, I just three went.
34:19.869 --> 34:24.552
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I've brought six these, I'm like, man, I'd still throw this find the same way I did as a kid.
34:24.572 --> 34:27.054
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, but now I don't get hung in the tree.
34:27.074 --> 34:29.475
[SPEAKER_02]: I think now I get a little bit more accurate.
34:29.795 --> 34:34.158
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, I mean, not fish a little bit with a bait
34:38.097 --> 34:41.061
[SPEAKER_02]: of a standard real, you know, or is it a code 33?
34:41.101 --> 34:44.706
[SPEAKER_02]: So, and that's fine by one of the plot castes.
34:44.746 --> 34:54.218
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess I need to just get out and cast God reals to like get actor, you know, but once you learn how to use that code 33, you never forget.
34:54.399 --> 34:55.280
[SPEAKER_02]: You won't ever forget.
34:56.168 --> 35:22.325

37:19.524 --> 37:20.765
[SPEAKER_01]: Shutting it down for a little bit.
37:20.785 --> 37:23.807
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks like it's rested up and it's just got a lot of fishing.
37:23.847 --> 37:25.348
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks like you've been hammering them.
37:26.128 --> 37:26.609
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yes.
37:27.069 --> 37:29.931
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's got nothing to do with closing the down.
37:30.351 --> 37:33.132
[SPEAKER_03]: It was just that hot before they closed the down.
37:33.733 --> 37:39.736
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, if you know what to do in there, it's, well, it's so, that's the way we feed our
37:41.507 --> 37:55.965
[SPEAKER_01]: yeah you've been you've been sending me a bunch of pilepicks you haven't seen a bunch of a bunch of bass and i've always heard it was good for bass but man the croppy he've been sending me a lot of croppy pictures and i just i never had that on my right or never had it begged is a croppy like
37:56.967 --> 37:57.548
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yes, sir.
37:57.748 --> 38:00.769
[SPEAKER_01]: Mr. U. Cropi, capital of South Island, Emma.
38:01.270 --> 38:01.750
[SPEAKER_01]: I like it.
38:02.190 --> 38:04.191
[SPEAKER_01]: So what was the secret out there?
38:04.251 --> 38:05.852
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I know we have dip on a lot.
38:05.872 --> 38:11.876
[SPEAKER_01]: We've had Josh Gunter on Darin, there in Shire, talking about catching Cropi out there on the river systems.
38:11.936 --> 38:14.697
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it different out there on the lake, as far as where they hold?
38:14.737 --> 38:15.738
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, how you all catching them?
38:16.377 --> 38:23.160
[SPEAKER_03]: No, yes, I usually fish in 30 or 40 foot of water and I'll make my own baits.
38:23.961 --> 38:33.446
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that probably helps a little bit because, you know, once the fish see a baits so many times, they can't, you know, they're not the dumbest.
38:33.486 --> 38:35.487
[SPEAKER_03]: They get, they get smartened up to it.
38:35.767 --> 38:42.470
[SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, I think making my own baits is a little way good anyway, but I don't know
38:46.627 --> 38:48.308
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, let's get into that a little bit.
38:48.348 --> 38:48.948
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm curious.
38:48.988 --> 38:51.730
[SPEAKER_01]: So you time hair jigs, you pour in soft plastics.
38:51.850 --> 38:52.670
[SPEAKER_01]: What what you doing?
38:53.250 --> 38:54.611
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll pour them home plastics.
38:55.091 --> 38:56.452
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
38:56.592 --> 39:03.656
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't have a big set of, but just use a microwave and some of the darkest modes that I made.
39:03.676 --> 39:04.436
[SPEAKER_01]: Huh.
39:04.997 --> 39:07.038
[SPEAKER_01]: I've never heard of it in a microwave.
39:07.078 --> 39:07.658
[SPEAKER_01]: How does that work?
39:08.583 --> 39:16.451
[SPEAKER_03]: You do put it in for about 30 seconds, makes it a little bit, put it in for another 30 seconds until you get the consistency you want and then.
39:17.222 --> 39:21.965
[SPEAKER_03]: You can use your own soft plastics melt them back down.
39:22.005 --> 39:34.594
[SPEAKER_03]: You can change the colors of them, you can put glitter in them, make them whatever color you want, and mold them into whatever body you want, besides safe on a heap of money from buying plastics all the time.
39:35.115 --> 39:36.115
[SPEAKER_01]: That's cool.
39:36.476 --> 39:37.737
[SPEAKER_01]: I've looked at it a little bit.
39:37.757 --> 39:41.739
[SPEAKER_01]: I've never got into it, but that's not when you did it in a microwave like that.
39:43.243 --> 39:45.325
[SPEAKER_01]: at my pushman to experiment a little bit.
39:45.505 --> 39:52.991
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you usually use in, like, or you just use in old self-plastics, or you buy on your plastic somewhere, or like, how does that work?
39:53.631 --> 40:04.300
[SPEAKER_03]: I used to buy the joke of liquid plastics, and you can microwave it in a hard note to the consistency that you want, but now,
40:04.930 --> 40:10.033
[SPEAKER_03]: I've got enough old plastics that I just use the old plastics for everything just for you some best.
40:10.313 --> 40:25.040
[SPEAKER_01]: That's been the bigger people to me when I've looked at it in the past as you end up with so many, you know, you get rid of a worm because it's chewed up or you've ran a hook through it too many times and, like, it's just ragged and I hate throwing stuff like that away, man, you know, just sure.
40:25.060 --> 40:28.502
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, I mean, you know, when the head was out of them, it's done.
40:29.444 --> 40:38.295
[SPEAKER_03]: And you know you throw it back in your boat and when you get home and you take it out, put it in a bag and reuse it, you know, remote down and re-shoot it.
40:39.636 --> 40:49.268
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you like because they get dirty and grubby like as you melt it down is it kind of like doing lead and stuff or like you're scamming off the top and you lose a little material each time or has that work.
40:49.915 --> 40:53.440
[SPEAKER_03]: I do lose a little material, but not much at all.
40:54.241 --> 40:59.367
[SPEAKER_03]: I do wash it all down, you know, and dry it all off, so no dirt and stuff like that gets in there.
41:01.255 --> 41:08.736
[SPEAKER_01]: How does it work if you do stuff because I use a lot of bites that have like salt to in them, or though I have like your Berkeley power bites and stuff that uses.
41:09.357 --> 41:09.957
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no.
41:10.057 --> 41:22.619
[SPEAKER_03]: I've never tried the goaps or in Berkeley power worms, anything like that, you know, I just use regular plastics, but I couldn't say either way on those, I've been scared to try it.
41:23.399 --> 41:25.780
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, although I do like some goaps.
41:27.756 --> 41:29.677
[SPEAKER_03]: but there's been scared to try it.
41:29.758 --> 41:31.779
[SPEAKER_03]: Now seeing what happens when they get out of the juice.
41:32.359 --> 41:40.645
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, I've lost a few in nooks and crannies and you find them next season and yeah, they're not a very fashionable at that point.
41:40.685 --> 41:41.726
[SPEAKER_01]: They kind of look like jerky.
41:42.527 --> 41:42.887
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, sir.
41:43.407 --> 41:43.928
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, sir.
41:44.889 --> 41:50.272
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, so you pour your own, what's the, what's the magic color combo you got going?
41:50.993 --> 41:54.115
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I like either a green or a silver.
41:54.696 --> 41:54.916
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
41:55.448 --> 41:56.188
[SPEAKER_01]: natural color.
41:56.228 --> 41:59.629
[SPEAKER_01]: So I guess that I guess the water out there's pretty, you know, relatively clear.
42:00.229 --> 42:01.349
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, it's crystal clear.
42:01.870 --> 42:02.750
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you can see.
42:04.010 --> 42:12.332
[SPEAKER_03]: When you're in 10 to 12 feet of water, you can see the bottom, I mean, like glass and I'm going to get out in 30, 40, 50, 50.
42:12.692 --> 42:15.453
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, you can't see the bottom, but it's still crystal clear.
42:17.055 --> 42:23.057
[SPEAKER_01]: So you say you're usually fishing for croppy, 30, 40 feet that you put on your own, self-plastics.
42:23.877 --> 42:30.459
[SPEAKER_01]: And now, you know, they've got it where you can take your kayak or you can rent the boat there.
42:30.499 --> 42:33.479
[SPEAKER_01]: I think if I remember correctly, you've been taking your kayak out there.
42:34.480 --> 42:35.160
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you do?
42:35.440 --> 42:40.061
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you just like single pole jig in forum or how are you getting your bait down there, too?
42:40.841 --> 42:42.662
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, right, just single pole jig.
42:47.267 --> 42:48.708
[SPEAKER_03]: But either or word.
42:50.008 --> 42:55.731
[SPEAKER_01]: How, so your fish in 30, 40 feet deep like are they holding down there at the bottom on structure?
42:55.751 --> 42:56.732
[SPEAKER_01]: Are they suspended?
42:57.452 --> 43:00.114
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they're usually closer to the structure.
43:00.434 --> 43:03.535
[SPEAKER_03]: So you fish in 20 feet down, stuff like that.
43:04.056 --> 43:05.436
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.
43:05.557 --> 43:06.257
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you fishing?
43:06.297 --> 43:12.420
[SPEAKER_01]: I imagine back when you could run your boat on it, you probably ran your electronics, or you mainly just fish in a structure.
43:17.064 --> 43:22.228
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I've actually had a good neighbor give me one to put on my kayak.
43:22.288 --> 43:22.929
[SPEAKER_03]: He said here.
43:23.189 --> 43:24.570
[SPEAKER_03]: I know you're going to make the best of it.
43:26.031 --> 43:27.473
[SPEAKER_03]: He's an older guy.
43:27.593 --> 43:32.577
[SPEAKER_03]: He's over 70, but he can't, he's too old to take a kayak in.
43:32.697 --> 43:35.559
[SPEAKER_03]: So he's waiting on the rest of the lake to get open for him.
43:35.659 --> 43:38.261
[SPEAKER_03]: So he said in the meantime, I can use his stuff.
43:38.601 --> 43:39.742
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh my kayak.
43:39.782 --> 43:41.804
[SPEAKER_03]: So that was appreciate it for that.
43:42.364 --> 43:42.625
[SPEAKER_03]: Nice.
43:43.357 --> 43:55.943
[SPEAKER_01]: You got any tips, so if you're getting like, it's wild to me, like down here, a lot of times you're fishing for croppy and a couple of feet to, you know, maybe like, I consider down here, like, 12 feet of water is fairly deep for them.
43:56.563 --> 44:01.265
[SPEAKER_01]: You got any tips on sensitivity, getting that jig down, like what you said up look like.
44:03.981 --> 44:07.683
[SPEAKER_03]: I've actually, I'm, I'm new at the kayak, I can't tell you that.
44:08.664 --> 44:12.786
[SPEAKER_03]: So I don't even have rod holders in the off-the-sad yet.
44:12.866 --> 44:25.333
[SPEAKER_03]: So I just hold, in other than troll, and I just hold, while I'm pedal through the lake, if I'm trolling for him, and if I'm vertical jig and I just, you know, stop around about where I need to be and just drop it down 30 feet.
44:25.873 --> 44:26.093
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
44:26.554 --> 44:28.795
[SPEAKER_01]: I think of the jigheader using to get it down that day.
44:30.329 --> 44:43.663
[SPEAKER_03]: uh sometimes uh sometimes the three eight sometimes uh one sixteenth sometimes or one eight uh just depends on if I'm patient 20 feet or 50 feet.
44:44.244 --> 44:45.265
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I can't.
44:45.325 --> 44:47.046
[SPEAKER_01]: I've I've got some bass pretty deep.
44:47.087 --> 44:50.250
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't imagine trying to pick up on a cropping nibble 50 feet deep.
44:50.490 --> 44:53.153
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't I don't think I'm that zen and focused on stuff.
44:53.918 --> 45:03.151
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, so I ran into a slew of bass the other day in 45 feet of water and I just couldn't get away from them.
45:04.560 --> 45:15.382
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I was catching all I brought was my ultralight soon because that's all I was after was cropping, but now I was catching 3,000 spots on and I'll tell you that it was a it was some good fighting.
45:15.963 --> 45:19.003
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, pass on ultralight that was is a blast.
45:19.603 --> 45:21.044
[SPEAKER_01]: What a that's a good segue.
45:21.084 --> 45:26.665
[SPEAKER_01]: So what what we do and we're the best just doing the same thing croppy word just that structure had bass on it instead of cropping.
45:27.116 --> 45:44.691
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think the spots just took over that whole structure because I'd like to say that I just couldn't get away from my and I called over a hundred that day, oh, what are there, are there any of them still holding up kind of shallow in the weeds and on the on the binders is the hate kind of pushed them deeper.
45:45.372 --> 45:50.536
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, they're, they don't, yeah, they're not real shallow.
45:51.157 --> 45:51.817
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's it.
45:52.238 --> 45:52.458
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
45:53.379 --> 45:54.140
[SPEAKER_01]: That's unfortunate.
45:54.160 --> 45:54.981
[SPEAKER_01]: I missed that window.
45:55.041 --> 45:56.762
[SPEAKER_01]: It sounds like it would be good.
45:56.862 --> 45:59.905
[SPEAKER_01]: I was looking earlier in the year when you was out there fishing for them.
46:00.865 --> 46:02.287
[SPEAKER_01]: You've catch them in places Ralph.
46:02.447 --> 46:04.649
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you'd probably got there a fly fish for them.
46:04.669 --> 46:10.233
[SPEAKER_01]: When you were saying it was real clear, that's always something that I'm looking for here trying to find clear water can be a bit of a pain.
46:10.253 --> 46:11.314
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah.
46:11.534 --> 46:13.436
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, they can see you from the mile away.
46:13.776 --> 46:15.457
[SPEAKER_03]: You're only bad part about it.
46:15.918 --> 46:16.138
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
46:16.338 --> 46:18.940
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you know, they're finicky.
46:19.020 --> 46:20.281
[SPEAKER_03]: But you know, once you get the
46:23.025 --> 46:23.225
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
46:23.705 --> 46:28.607
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, how you like, can you say, uh, you know, you get your fish founder on there.
46:28.627 --> 46:30.888
[SPEAKER_01]: You're still working on getting your odds and everything.
46:31.008 --> 46:34.870
[SPEAKER_01]: I know you are not a kayak angler by choice.
46:35.270 --> 46:38.112
[SPEAKER_01]: So just speak, but are you, uh, you like it?
46:38.132 --> 46:41.193
[SPEAKER_01]: You warm it up to it any or you just wait and get your boat back out there.
46:42.809 --> 47:02.393
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm warming up to it, the lake's been open for about a month now, and I've been every weekend and I have gone so in the week, so I've been probably 12 or 15 times, and I've lost 18 pounds, so that was a plus.
47:04.654 --> 47:09.895
[SPEAKER_03]: I did look at it on the map, I pedaled one day for 16 miles.
47:11.915 --> 47:15.799
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, 16 miles because there's a six miles one way to the dam.
47:16.719 --> 47:21.644
[SPEAKER_03]: So anyway, so I get to work out even so I can't be mad at it for that.
47:22.124 --> 47:23.586
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's man.
47:23.886 --> 47:38.019
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm I'm back to where I paddle more now, but that was one of the worst things that ever happened to me physically was I went from kayaking and I was I was pretty serious about it and I wasn't so much kayaking to fish as I was kayaking just to get out there.
47:38.813 --> 48:06.765
[SPEAKER_01]: and in scouting, hunting, sightseeing, that sort of thing, but like I used to be real big on duck hunting, the call is way in the kayak, and getting this some hall of hunting spots, deer hunting spots in the upper delta, and I'd go for weeks at a time, where I was out there, you know, if not every day, four or five days out of every week, and like then I got a boat, and I got out board, and there went my exercise, and I gained, you know, like you said, like I gained 20 pounds
48:08.292 --> 48:34.823
[SPEAKER_03]: And yes, I mean, would you take me, I used to could get a limit and be back at the launch out at launch at 530, you know, this was before all the stuff went into place, so I could just ride down there in launch at launch at 530 and I would be I would be back at the launch at 9 o'clock with a limit of whatever I want, but now, you know, the kayaking it takes me.
48:35.763 --> 48:46.708
[SPEAKER_03]: 45 minutes to get to where I'm going you know, so that's that's an hour and a half back and forth There's just downtime of that you know that used to take me five minutes to get there.
48:47.328 --> 48:57.412
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah I love having a kayak and a canoe for hunting fishing and there's times when I've just feel like that's the best choice But I won't lie.
48:57.532 --> 49:01.654
[SPEAKER_01]: I enjoy there's a lot of places that I hunt more often
49:05.200 --> 49:15.871
[SPEAKER_01]: five six mile ride and it's like while they're 15 minutes, you know, and instead of having to get up, you know, where it's five six miles in a kayak, that's going to take you hour and a half.
49:16.212 --> 49:25.962
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I'm pretty strong padler and I've always liked fast boats and stuff, but you're going to be an hour and a half two hours and.
49:26.823 --> 49:49.627
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just, you know, you said they're thinking about that place tonight before you're planning all your spots like, well, I could go here, here, here, here, I could go here and it'd be pretty good, but I'd have to wake up at like, do a clock in the morning because there's no worse feeling than you've been paddling for the past hour and as you're getting to your spot, you've got to turn into your sleigh, here comes somebody in a boat, he slept in a hour past what you did.
49:50.341 --> 49:51.702
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's still going to beat you to you.
49:52.882 --> 49:55.944
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, I mean, it was the same as the same with the fishing holes.
49:56.624 --> 50:01.586
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, you know, our pedal, you know, three miles down the way.
50:01.867 --> 50:05.888
[SPEAKER_03]: And, you know, I see the boat coming and just pass me right up and go right to my spot.
50:06.409 --> 50:12.672
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, there's nothing you can do, you know, there's a whole public, but, you know, it does hurts your feelings a little bit.
50:13.092 --> 50:13.232
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
50:13.989 --> 50:15.310
[SPEAKER_01]: Wish it's been open a month.
50:15.330 --> 50:19.635
[SPEAKER_01]: It sounds like you've been hitting it pretty hard, uh, you know, how's it going?
50:19.675 --> 50:24.099
[SPEAKER_01]: Like is there a lot of people using it by kayak or the rental boats getting used in rental boats.
50:24.139 --> 50:29.124
[SPEAKER_03]: I got to say they look fairly nice and yes, or the rental boats are getting rented out.
50:29.304 --> 50:34.129
[SPEAKER_03]: No, in fact, my neighbor and he finally got up to go to try.
50:35.941 --> 50:47.256
[SPEAKER_03]: last week and he went to book his boat and there was nothing available for two weeks so that that crossed his feelings pretty good too.
50:47.797 --> 50:49.940
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, how many of them have in their rental fleet?
50:50.628 --> 50:59.733
[SPEAKER_03]: and they've got four, what they call scorpions, they're all low boats, aluminum, low brand.
51:00.073 --> 51:02.014
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like the aluminum bass boats, yeah.
51:02.174 --> 51:06.537
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's all they had about the bass boats, and then they had some John's, like we trouble the motors or something.
51:07.117 --> 51:11.419
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, early got two John Boots and four of the bass boats.
51:12.400 --> 51:14.161
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think two kayaks.
51:14.481 --> 51:17.683
[SPEAKER_03]: But there's been a lot of people bring in their own kayaks.
51:21.228 --> 51:27.511
[SPEAKER_03]: Every time I go, there's probably 20 or so people fishing from the banks, which I like to see that.
51:28.271 --> 51:30.432
[SPEAKER_01]: Hmm, yeah, well, thanks.
51:30.572 --> 51:34.914
[SPEAKER_01]: Good bank fishing spots are really, let's talk about that on the show before.
51:34.934 --> 51:38.756
[SPEAKER_01]: That just seems like it's harder and harder to find a good place to bank fish.
51:40.177 --> 51:48.541
[SPEAKER_01]: This podcast is brought to you by EMS and index PVC decking, Hook's Rust, Lion's Tangle, the one that got away always does.
51:49.102 --> 51:50.503
[SPEAKER_01]: Some things aren't meant to last.
51:50.823 --> 51:51.763
[SPEAKER_01]: This isn't one of them.

52:10.896 --> 52:13.177

52:19.220 --> 52:22.702
[SPEAKER_03]: That is, and what makes it ultra-horror and a big league lake of
52:30.625 --> 52:44.823
[SPEAKER_03]: And they put up new signs of state property, no trespassing, keep out, you know, right there on the right of way, I mean, you know that the state owns it and they came in and put up signs where they're stopping them.
52:45.155 --> 53:07.527
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, they're, I can say they're trying to stop the kids from fishing because that's where that's where a lot of the teenagers go to fish from banks and the evenings, you know, when they get out of school stuff like that and it's just quick and easy for them just pull right over, walk down cast an hour head on home, but they are actively trying to take that from.
53:13.789 --> 53:18.012
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's uh, well, if you start messing with the kids, you're messing with fire.
53:18.212 --> 53:23.115
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I mean, the kids, we want the kids to have something to do as the whole thing.
53:23.175 --> 53:25.877
[SPEAKER_03]: And there's a lot waterstaking do than fishing.
53:26.417 --> 53:27.458
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, now for sure.
53:27.498 --> 53:29.639
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, that's, that's how I started.
53:29.699 --> 53:33.522
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, by the ad, he would take me fishing, but then I would also slip off to go.
53:34.542 --> 53:50.037
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, fish to creep by my house and I've seen that I've fished over a port over on the side of the road and fished, you know, every county in Alabama, there's 67 counties I've fished all of them and 90% of the time when I was getting out.
53:50.557 --> 53:52.739
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's Paul and O'Brien's out of the road to fish in the bridge.
53:53.279 --> 54:02.227
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's, you know, Alabama, I think the median household income still are like $60,000 or something like that.
54:02.267 --> 54:12.656
[SPEAKER_01]: So it may not sound like a whole lot of some people, but man, even a kayak is an expense and a boat is just, you know, well, a whole lot of people can do.
54:13.924 --> 54:22.047
[SPEAKER_03]: the worst thing is, you know, we've already spent our whole life savings and I say we, there's a bunch of us.
54:22.668 --> 54:29.330
[SPEAKER_03]: There's put everything we had into a boat and now they have, you know, closed us out from using our boat.
54:29.770 --> 54:35.273
[SPEAKER_03]: So we have to find other means of doing it and that's what we've been doing.
54:35.473 --> 54:35.873
[SPEAKER_03]: Look there.
54:36.173 --> 54:37.794
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess they're trying to stop there too.
54:38.314 --> 54:38.494
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
54:38.954 --> 54:40.615
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, and I know, I know too,
54:41.725 --> 54:43.266
[SPEAKER_01]: I was excited when you reached out to me.
54:43.286 --> 54:47.330
[SPEAKER_01]: I was glad to have you on the show because, you know, the water's been kind of high.
54:47.350 --> 54:48.671
[SPEAKER_01]: The else has been a little bit nasty.
54:48.691 --> 54:49.652
[SPEAKER_01]: We talked last week.
54:49.672 --> 55:07.208
[SPEAKER_01]: We talked about some inch or stuff, just to give a real good breakdown on how to find kind of smaller water sheds, you know, that kind of miss the storm bands, clear out faster and don't get his muddy, you know, and, you know, some places like it, but knows about like everybody knows here on our side of the bay.
55:08.307 --> 55:33.945
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... bomenet creek is usually the best option when the water's high and buddy hunt y'all side a lot of people get up in like jicks about steel creek places like that but i know well like the the monorocounny public lake always used to be packed when the river was flooded out and then i've heard bit creek lake has always been the place to go when you get situations like right now we're varies at seven feet and everything's muddy
55:35.065 --> 55:55.153
[SPEAKER_03]: And yes or no, before they close it, that would be the busiest time when the rain would hit, you know, someone on the summertime and all the river fishermen, you know, that is from these parks wouldn't film fish big creek lake because it was well, that's always in good conditions.
55:57.193 --> 56:02.597
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, what uh, you know, has been open for a month that sounds like people been using it more.
56:03.018 --> 56:08.582
[SPEAKER_01]: I know y'all are happy to have it open on a limited basis and hoping to still get it opened more.
56:09.943 --> 56:12.345
[SPEAKER_03]: It's almost better than permanently closed.
56:12.785 --> 56:15.207
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a, it's a world of difference from that.
56:15.828 --> 56:16.068
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
56:16.748 --> 56:20.311
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, is there anything else newsworthy going on over there?
56:27.455 --> 56:37.742
[SPEAKER_03]: And I've seen a lot of the national news outlets and say, and this was a highly sophisticated remote control ID and I mean just own an old.
56:38.523 --> 56:40.584
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I mean we've seen the emails.
56:41.737 --> 56:44.639
[SPEAKER_03]: There was a trainer of grenade that was cut in half.
56:45.039 --> 56:49.602
[SPEAKER_03]: It was a homemade, it was a homemade, pretty much a homemade bottle rocket.
56:50.102 --> 57:01.169
[SPEAKER_03]: I can actually say that, but the funny thing is that they made a big to do about it, they national news and all that, and now nobody is saying anything.
57:01.569 --> 57:03.831
[SPEAKER_03]: Have you seen any more of it on the news at all?
57:04.357 --> 57:05.137
[SPEAKER_01]: enough stuff.
57:05.237 --> 57:08.358
[SPEAKER_01]: That's like that seems to cycle third pretty quick, surprisingly.
57:09.599 --> 57:17.521
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just amazing to us that nobody even came out and said, it was something or it was nothing to worry about.
57:17.541 --> 57:20.162
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I thought, you know, at least we would get that.
57:20.842 --> 57:21.122
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
57:22.002 --> 57:28.364
[SPEAKER_03]: But no kind of kind of dangling like what will, are you going to tell us, is it was a
57:31.143 --> 57:39.250
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was a weird headline for me to catch us all that land yet back up weeks ago, and I was like, the plot Dickens.
57:41.491 --> 57:49.458
[SPEAKER_03]: And the crazy thing is, the, that part of the lake, and then it was found in Hamilton Creek at the spillway.
57:50.477 --> 57:54.900
[SPEAKER_03]: But that part of the lake has been closed to the public since 2001.
57:55.080 --> 57:56.201
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, wow.
57:56.801 --> 57:57.162
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, sir.
57:57.882 --> 58:01.344
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they announced the permanent closure of the lake.
58:01.745 --> 58:03.786
[SPEAKER_03]: February 4th or 2021.
58:05.047 --> 58:10.250
[SPEAKER_03]: But that part of the lake has been closed since 2001.
58:10.730 --> 58:12.872
[SPEAKER_03]: So I really don't think they're
58:13.582 --> 58:19.726
[SPEAKER_03]: their idea of closing something stops anybody that's trying to do bad.
58:19.746 --> 58:26.089
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I think it don't like to say a lot more is only for the, what do they say?
58:27.450 --> 58:31.452
[SPEAKER_03]: Lots are only for the, yeah, honest people.
58:31.753 --> 58:32.813
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the honest people.
58:33.053 --> 58:33.594
[SPEAKER_03]: That's right.
58:34.954 --> 58:39.317
[SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, and I made the wrong, but
58:39.823 --> 58:58.680
[SPEAKER_03]: I think of Outdoorsman as the good stewards of the nature, and I know there's some bad outpost on end, there is with everything, but I would go out on a limb and say the majority of Outdoorsman are the good stewards of our resources.
59:00.314 --> 59:29.002
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's definitely a, see, Nate situation, I've been following the dialogue back and forth and I understand, you know, there are, you know, concerns it's critical infrastructure and I think at a certain point everybody's willing to concede that, you know, there's probably some parts of that system that should be off limits that they don't want people messing around with, but absolutely absolutely and where they put the barrier up at in 2001 is over Hamilton Creek.
59:30.277 --> 59:33.979
[SPEAKER_03]: that is 800 acres to their equipment.
59:33.999 --> 59:38.721
[SPEAKER_03]: That's 800 acres of the lake before their equipment starts.
59:39.402 --> 59:44.424
[SPEAKER_03]: We feel like, you know, there's a buffer on the dams on the river system.
59:44.584 --> 59:46.125
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, for safety, we get it.
59:46.685 --> 59:47.646
[SPEAKER_03]: Stay this far away.
59:48.286 --> 59:51.728
[SPEAKER_03]: But 800 acres, that should be enough of a buffer.
59:58.347 --> 59:59.388
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, 100 acres.
59:59.588 --> 01:00:18.083
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know much about municipal safety margins and stuff like that, but I know I've fished around some dams, been around some dams on the Alabama, the Tennessee River, and there's a lot of people right up on the dams, fishing the spillways, you know, just that was streamer, just downstream, and those were a lot bigger dams.
01:00:19.544 --> 01:00:20.004
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, sir.
01:00:20.144 --> 01:00:23.447
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think the buffer is 90 feet on those dams.
01:00:23.847 --> 01:00:24.908
[SPEAKER_03]: That sounds a bit right.
01:00:25.088 --> 01:00:26.950
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it could be all but I think it is.
01:00:27.587 --> 01:00:38.436
[SPEAKER_03]: And, you know, I'm all precise, but let me tell you, if somebody, if a bad guy was to come, of boon is not going to stop anybody like that.
01:00:38.897 --> 01:00:40.738
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, a boon will stop a fisherman.
01:00:41.279 --> 01:00:42.440
[SPEAKER_03]: It will stop an honest man.
01:00:44.161 --> 01:00:48.084
[SPEAKER_03]: But like I said, we can appreciate a buffer.
01:00:48.225 --> 01:00:54.970
[SPEAKER_03]: We can, you know, agree to, yes, that needs to be there, but the rest of the lake needs to be open.
01:00:56.971 --> 01:01:02.017
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's always good to have your own good to get the update for folks who want to get out this weekend.
01:01:02.337 --> 01:01:06.161
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, you think you're still going to be fishing pretty good this weekend with the water high on the main system.
01:01:07.082 --> 01:01:07.703
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yes, sir.
01:01:07.783 --> 01:01:08.084
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, sir.
01:01:08.124 --> 01:01:13.129
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to go tomorrow morning and I think I'm going to bring home 30 and crappy.
01:01:13.690 --> 01:01:16.032
[SPEAKER_03]: In fact, I'm going, I'm going to bring home 30 crappy.
01:01:16.093 --> 01:01:18.055
[SPEAKER_03]: So we'll have enough food for the week.
01:01:18.838 --> 01:01:19.018
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
01:01:19.358 --> 01:01:21.599
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a, it's a, it's a good time, man.
01:01:21.619 --> 01:01:23.420
[SPEAKER_01]: What's your, what's your favorite croppy recipe?
01:01:23.460 --> 01:01:26.941
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll usually fron or y'all experiment with some different stuff?
01:01:27.782 --> 01:01:28.322
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, right.
01:01:28.442 --> 01:01:31.163
[SPEAKER_03]: I experiment with them last week.
01:01:31.223 --> 01:01:41.427
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm black and some and we had a black and croppy tacos and last night I've fried some, some rants and jalapeno mix.
01:01:42.308 --> 01:01:49.776
[SPEAKER_03]: So I like to mix and stuffy and try to cook in different ways, you know, life is a big hilt both.
01:01:49.956 --> 01:01:56.803
[SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, she tends to like and bake their air frad or black and something like that.
01:01:56.903 --> 01:01:58.565
[SPEAKER_03]: But my favorite is red.
01:01:59.625 --> 01:02:15.588
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm with you like if if there was no health concerns, I'd eat all my fish fried, but I will say this I do really enjoy them either bike to a black and on a cheese grits, that's and that's kind of my compromise.
01:02:16.064 --> 01:02:32.636
[SPEAKER_01]: Nowadays, a lot of that way, and I tell you what I've done, too, if you're like Asian cuisine type stuff, I've steamed them and done them on light rice, done them with some vegetables, like bok choy and everything like that, almost made like stir-frabble, but with steamed fish, and that must be my little track.
01:02:32.956 --> 01:02:36.578
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of ways to eat fish.
01:02:36.699 --> 01:02:42.923
[SPEAKER_01]: Fried is good, but I feel like sometimes we get stuck in the trap of fried, I guess, just because it's fast.
01:02:45.980 --> 01:02:58.684
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it tastes the best, but I know it's not the best for you, so that's why we mixed up and you know, stay healthy for the most part, but you do have to climb every now and again.
01:02:59.024 --> 01:02:59.505
[SPEAKER_01]: There we go.
01:02:59.565 --> 01:03:08.008
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, and hey, too, if you down, whatever you said, 16, 18 pounds in a month, because of all that kayak, and that is the good thing about the pedal drive kayak, you ain't more fried fish.
01:03:08.448 --> 01:03:08.928
[SPEAKER_03]: That's right.
01:03:08.948 --> 01:03:12.749
[SPEAKER_01]: Your doctor can't fuss at you if you're getting you down to cardio every day out there fishing.
01:03:15.386 --> 01:03:19.228
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well Matt, it's always a pleasure talking to you, man, look forward to having you on again in the future.
01:03:19.829 --> 01:03:21.550
