Weiss Lake - 6-12-2017

My fishing partner, ( Mike ), and I went out this morning for a few hours.  We started at 7 am and quit at 11:30 am due to the heat and the fish had stopped biting.  We put in at the new - Graves Three Rivers Landing on Weiss Lake.  The weather was good - cloudy - no wind - and the water temp was 76 degrees.  We fished Yellow Creek and the main Coosa river channel between Leesburg Hwy. 411 bridge and Yellow Creek.  The crappie bite was good until 9 am.  We caught crappie, catfish, and stripe on minnows, on the river ledge, 12 to 19 ft. deep.  I am attaching a few pictures.

The Coosa River Crappie Club is having a 1/2 day crappie tournament on Neely Henry Lake - Thursday 6-8-17, from 6 am until 12 noon.  $ 50 entry fee per team, includes big fish pot.  You can register morning of tournament 5 to 5:30 am at Rainbow Landing at Hwy. 77 bridge - Southside/ Gadsden.  Gary Kendrick is tournament director - phone # 205-405-0542.  Open to everyone - and you don't have to be a member of club.

I think I will go night fishing and I will share my trip with all.  See Ya'll on the lake.

Rain this Saturday and Sunday is forecast.  Our crappie tournament was postponed due to forecast. I like to fish; it should only rain on the days I don't plan to fish.  Sounds fair to me ....  Since I  am not fishing this weekend,  and I have not been since November of last year; I am getting very irritable. Fishing is my nerve pill that relaxes me, and makes all my problems fade away for a little while. Being on the lake and seeing, hearing, and smelling all the beauty that God created just makes me feel better.  I have learned to truly appreciate the little things in life that we all sometimes take for granted. I am getting near 70 years of age, and everyday is a blessing to be enjoyed and appreciated.  Many of my friends have passed on; and that makes me appreciate every day even more.  Therefore; I fish, and every time time I do I enjoy my time on the water even more.  Sometimes I catch fish, sometimes I only catch a few, ...

Time to Talk Politics I suggest we vote all politicians out of office after one term.  If they can not get the job done in two, four, or six years; why keep them there ?  They collect pay checks, insurance benefits, retirement benefits, and enjoy lavish expense accounts; all on the taxpayer's money.  They will lie, cheat, steal, accept gifts from lobbyist, and more; while promising us taxpayers they are looking out for us.  We know better, and if you don't you should. Washington lawmakers have been promising lower taxes, better insurance, and safer streets for years. Have we seen any of the promises come true ?  NO, we have not ! Drugs are killing our youth and destroying our culture, but elected officials can not stop the influx of illegal drugs into our country.  Why don't we send our military to Mexico and South America and eliminate the drug cartels for good ?  It shouldn't take our military but a week or two;  if we ...

Why Buy American

When we buy American made products, we create or save jobs for Americans. We, as Americans, must help keep America strong and healthy, before we can help others in need. If we fail to do this one thing, even though it may cost us more money when we shop; we will be putting our neighbors, friends, and family members in the unemployment line. We have now outsourced to other countries many of our manufacturing plants, and their jobs, for making steel , automobiles, computers, TV's, appliances, radios, textiles, furniture, sports equipment, toys, tools, outboard motors, bicycles, clothing, and so much more. We did so to cut cost, has it really helped ? Maybe a few business owners profited, but America is being destroyed by our own actions. Someday, if not already, we will be at the mercy of foreign countries and their imported goods and services just to survive. America must be mostly self sufficient, and the first step is to buy only American goods and services whenever poss...
