Quick White Oak trip
 

Fished a couple of hours this afternoon just South of the landing... Two dinky dinks... Threw jigs, creatures, spinner baits, and a buzz bait when it was still raining...

Went from fallen timber, drains, alligator grass, lilly pads and beneath the trees (which claimed on of my favorite jigs due to the cantaloupe size red wasp nest above it)...

Water was mucked up and not moving, drains werent even flowing :confused: ???

That's why they call it fishing !!!

Hydro

Don't let those wasp take your bait from ya. Get in there and get it. Just call me first so I can come video it. :-)

What kind of boat were you in ?

Little beat up side consol blueish/gun metal grey alumaweld with a 25 j/e on the back.

With a stump jumper ?

Yep, first time fishing out there, so didn't expect to do much. Grew up catching Marsh bass down on hypolyte Coulee, so this river fishing is new to me.

I had just launched and was parking my truck (silver F-250) when you were picking up !!! That is some kind of stump jumper/jackplate on your rig !

Where is the Hypolyte Coulee ?

Ah yeah, OK cool. Lmao, yeah, when my uncle bought the boat for my PawPaw, oh, 16 or 17 years ago, he had that put on there. Hypolyte is south of lake Charles, flows into black bayou. Used to be real good bass fishing before the storms.

I think I saw you on 2-10. Is it evinrude with a monstrous jack plate.

If it was being pulled by a Nissan frontier with mcneese alumni sticker on the back window, then yeah, that was it.

Yea, you could run that thing across a gravel road without dinging your prop !!!

Lmao, yeah it'll come in handy on the river. Plan on fishing it a whole lot more, gotta get the hang of things put there though.

Good deal, I will keep an eye out for ya' on the river ... I enjoy BS'ing about fishing as much as fishing :smokin: ... Lots of good folks up there ...

Hydro

Cool deal, definitely the same here.

I seen you at Walmart on 14. I was also admiring the jackplate.

So I take it that is something uncommon for so many people to notice it? Lol

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I847 using Tapatalk 2

You got a pic of this thing because jackplates are very common and you must have one worth seeing

Lmao, that's kinda what I thought. Ill take a pic of it the next time I've got the boat. I think its just an annomally because of the boat.

We fished white oak thus afternoon also... We caught 2 keepers and a few dinks... Two other keepers came of on the way to the boat... All on topwater and texas rigged red shad worm

It's the same one I saw its about 24" back from transom.


Sent from my stupid iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep, its look likes a 15" setback and raised up . Its a longshaft on a short transom. I believe

I seen that boat at academy today too lol

The Guy that made that set up is from here. Can't remember who it was now, its on the jackplate, but I think his son or grandson runs it now. My stepbrother knows the Guy.

You should be able to throw a rooster tail with that motor so far back.

Well she's got some years on her. Been rebuilding her bit by bit this summer. Today was the first time all summer that something hasn't gone wrong. Had the starter rebuilt, replaced half the fuel system, and had to get the prop fixed cause I spun it last Sunday.

Lol Sounds like you have my kinda luck.


Sent from my stupid iPhone using Tapatalk

Lmao, if you call that luck, then yeah. Just trying to get her running good again so me and PawPaw can have a few more fishing trips. Want to get him on some bass again like we used to catch when I was little. He's 88 so he can't exactly get all that work done himself, so I've taken it on, and the boat is "mine" as he puts it.

Man cherish the memories. I lost both my grandpaws by the time I was 5. You can't ever replace an grandparent.

X1000 on that one. He's been a grandfather / father / fishing buddy / best friend. When we lived down the road from them, I was always there.

Side bar : I feel like this thread got sslightly hijacked by my boat.....lmao
