Teamed up with Kingfish and Buddah to search for the “wily, elusive” sacalait (white perch) this past Sunday.
*Cloudy / cool day = good (for white perch fishing)
*Winds under 10 mph = good enough
*5-6 bridges within paddling distance that provide structure that holds sacalait = cool!
*Muddy water due to recent rains = bad
*Advice from the owner of the bait shop to only buy about 15 minnows per person when the limit on sacalait here is 50 fish = REALLY bad.
*Paddling, exploring, and fishing with a couple of cooperative guys who each had a great sense of humor… priceless!
<br />
Thankfully the company was great cuz the fishing stunk! <br />
Everyone brough a sense of humor and a cooperative and playful attitude. We had great fun picking on each other. Grandpa, the fashion guy, and the sucky guide shared chuckles all day. <br />

Buddah's new Tarpon 140 is a sharp boat. When he wasn't looking I drooled on it. <br />
<br />
Kingfish's Pungo 140 is as fast as Buddah's T-140 and I had trouble keeping up in my lil Scout despite the fact that I'm in excellent shape (*cough-cough* "Ya'll hold up a second... I gotta light another one").<br />
<br />
Anyone ever eat thistles? Beware... there's a lil flowering weed that looks a lot like a young thistle. It taste like crap! I'm afraid Kingfish will never trust me again when it comes to edible wild stuff again. ;o) Whoops!<br />
<br />
Good thing I couldn't find any edible wild mushrooms.<br />
fishing I’ve been doing fine. I have new obligations at home with junior, so I haven’t been doing much fishing lately. Next time you go, let me know. I had a couple trips planned for the marsh, but the weather didn’t cooperate.
You freak… I couldn’t figure out what you were talking about so I had to go back and re-read this thread. That was no help. Read your message again… AHHHH!!! THAT SOT rumor! LOL
Yep, it’s true… I bought a Walden Cuda for half price last week. It hasn’t been wet yet despite the fact that I fished for a couple of hours today. Gotta get her dress properly before takin her out ya know. Thinking about adding an onboard toilet for all the crap y’all throw my way. I already know how she paddles cuz if ya flip her over, her bottom looks just like the Scout. Neither has a bottom as big as the Ex wife’s though. Hell you could write Mitsubishi TWICE across that thing. In bold print even!
