I went with my dad and good friend shawn today to big lake. Launched at Cal Point looked for birds around turners with pretty much no luck so we fished some current lines, picking up a few here and there. So we decided to go give Jordans spot a try and on our way we spotted a pretty flock of birds with only ONE boat on it. So i went WAYYY the F around it more than W's 400yards and stopped about 200 yards away then let the wind and trolling motor get it closer. We got their and the guy who "wasn't trying to be an *******" politely told us at first that we threw a big wake, which i couldn't understand how, so i apologized politely. Then he went on and on and on and on and on until the point that we got pissed off and told him OKAY WE GOT IT!!! (I never saw or felt our wake, we aren't idiots we're on some body of water every weekend)... oh yeah he was a "guide" and didn't think himself as a butthole but definitely was. He must of stayed on the phone the next 15 minutes probably calling his "guide" friends to ask where the fish are. Some "guide" huh??? lol Anyway we caught a few there also even tho my wake spooked them off. Douchebag. Dude chapped me lol Long story short we fished the warm flats around the lake picking up some nice fish. I caught my two personal best that i believed to be around 7.5 lbs cuz of my offbrand boga. Had bigtroutadvisory weigh them on their true boga only weighed over 6lbs. Made my stomach hurt that i had killed those fish after i tried keeping them alive all day in the live well. O and i hooked that big red and let my friend reel it in, which was probably more fun than it would of been for me reeling him in. He doesn't get the chance as often so i figured i'd let him tango with a big red. After all a very fun day. And sorry i had to kill those pretty fish... i nearly let them go too. Had them in the water working them back whenever i was convinced to keep and mount them. Sorry for the long read also but i hope you enjoyed it. The waders could of caught some monsters today i bet

NICE trout !

lol appreciate it man!! The first one actually jumped out the net back into the water while she was over the boat.... Scared the living crap out of me!!!!

Haha ! If we go tag trout one day I'm riding with u !

Damn nice feesh Jeremy! It looked smooth out there today. Looks like I missed a good day on the water. Work sucks!

heck yeah man.. That'd be awesome!!

I'm a sport fishing guy not a hungry fisherman i promise. It killed me to keep those fish. I would of thrown that big red back too, but my friend reeled it in and it was his fish so i let him decide

it was pretty smooth in the earlier morning but it seemed like right whenever i caught my first big trout it picked up pretty good.

About the WAKE, that is the typical BIG LAKE crap. You can pass 1/4 mile from someone and you can see them throw their arms up in the air. When they do that, I throw up mine showing the bird. BTW, if this person would of told me that, I would of told them to GO F-OFF!:D This is the only place this crap happens. I know this, if someone would tell me this BS on the lake I would tell him or he this is PUBLIC WATERS. BL has the most cry babies....PERIOD. I would not worry about it.

Nice fishes. Good job.
When they talk crap, just keep on fishing. Don't acknowledge they are there much less let them know you heard them.
It pizzes them off even more.

Nice. Fish...... But also remember that one boat per flock....and he was there first..so if you take a chance to fish with another boat your taking a 50% chance of getting told something.

nice fish Jeremy, I been getting the itch really bad,just got work stacked up right now,but Im due to make a run. Heard about some trout being caught in the bay this week. Water in weeks bay is pretty right now,and salty to boot. Glad you got on em today.

i saw 3-4 boats on a flock today



nice fish btw!!!!

At V.Bay we have no opportunity to fish the birds alone... you deal with 4-5 boats on one flock... Awesome catch man... I would've done the same thing you did... Plenty of fish to go around and us "weekend warriors" have to get-um when and where we can.

Nice fish, dood. Can I post this pic on 2cool.they'll love it. :rolleyes:

oh and you may want to weigh them on a third boga, not sure BTA's is correct either :work:

If you see a Black Boat on a set on Big Lake.:D.......And others try to join.....I will crank and run them over.(fish that is)........ You can no way possible fish 4-5 boats on a set of birds you cant fish 3 on a set............2 is pushing it.....

My rule on bird fishing this year..........If someone messes my fish up...Then no one catches on that Group........Cant take the idiots anymore....just too crazy.......Once all us guys start cranking up on birds when guys try to crumb snatch.....they will learn the hard way

That's bull ****

that's some real nice trout.... congrats, i agree with ASR they got a few cry babys out there, you told him you was sorry and he still kept on running the mouth you should have done a couple circles around his boat to give him a real reason to complain.

:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

That's some nice speck's. Congrats

There is no rule for that W

My guess is, by summer's end, W will be 4' tall instead of 5'. :rolleyes:

Just saying that more than one boat can fish the bird's.

I don't quite understand the deal with the birds. If you're workin' a flock and somebody joins in.....just go find another one if you don't like sharing. Sayin', "I was here first" or "I found 'em" seems pretty immature at best.

Damn son nice fish!!

Yea working sucks. I had to work and passed by the point and through Deatonville and saw how nice the water looked. It was calm and naturally I was working. Nice fish though. Me and a friend plan on going tuesday, but I'm sure it won't be as nice as it was today, wind wise.:(

Best post yet on this thread!!!!! Poor "W" needs :help:.

You better stick to La. waters then, you'd never survive here.



And yes more than 1 boat CAN fish a flock if done properly.


I have had 2-3 boats join me on a flock and we all did good with no problems. Problem is chances of finding more than than a couple to do it properly is the challenge and does not happen often


Oh yeah and get this, I don't even have a trolling motor!!!!!!!!!!!

:eek: GASP!!!! You don't have what??? :rotfl:

I know, it is absolutely terrible to think I would even try and fish birds without one!

Rule # 387

You cannot fish birds without a trolling motor..........and, it's got to be a MotorGuide.

Oh not only I have to have one it must be a specific one.

pfffffffffftt.

I keep thinking bout getting one, but the I hear all my buddies complain about the cost of replacing their battries.

Then think. I've done alright without so wth.

sweet man.. Do you know where at in the bay or how many!! I'd much rather make that 45 minute drive than the 2 hour one lol


lmao you said that right you'd be lucky to be one of 10 boats trying to fish a pile of birds... frikin ridiculous there.


i'm still thinking about mounting them. Think it'd be a nice addition to the house. Depends on how much they charge for a 2 fish mount.


i nearly did just that but didn't want to embarass myself in front of the customer if it was just him or if he wasn't a "guide" i would of!

i agree.. as long as everyone shows each other respect its perfectly find with me. I enjoy whenever a good boater shows up with me and starts BSing with me. I don't mind sharing at all as long as i can see that they are trying to stay out of the way, you know.

Hmmmmm
 

If i approach a flock of birds properly and set up properly and give the first bost what I consider plenty room and he cranks up and runs thru the school to kill the bite , I'm done fishing for the day cause i'm going to follow him around and every time he stops i'm going to run a circle around him to make sure he don't catch fish.
sound familiar?:eek:

phew whipe the sweat off my face! I gotta a motorguide!! :D

lol the minnkota on my bass boat is pretty sweet tho! so. so. quiet.

Sounds like fairplay to me.

That would be a W quote from back in the lsm days........

Oh carp, you just had to mention that didn't ya!!!!!!!!!!!:cry:

Nice fish man!!!!!!!
Don't worry about that dude acting like a fool. I get tired of those people
out there that fish every day. Some of us have to work and don't have the
chance to fish except on weekends. Maybe they shouldn't fish the weekends, then it would be less fisherman on the lake on weekends.

What's this suppose to mean @ss whole. BTW stay your @ss out my FN hole. Go find your own d@m fish......:pissed:

Nice catch man...

thanks you sir! We had to work for them tho. Sounds like sunday was a better day with all the birds activity

which one is "your" hole? :rolleyes:

someone needs to change their tampon ?? :*****:
