Okay, I'm not going to give the weather any more chances.  It was 80.  Then it was in the 30s.  I'm going to boycott the weather, because when the shorts come out, they stay out. The last week of turkey season was a little tough, for me anyway.  Crappie are being caught and people are finding mushrooms.  The time is upon us and that makes me happy happy happy.

What can I say?  I give up on this weather.  What do you do when you get up on the first weekend of turkey season and it's 35 degrees outside?  Well, you put on more clothes, grab your swamp boots and maybe a boat to get to that field those thunder chickens have been strutting in.  It's going to be fun.

Is there ever going to be a level weather ride?  We've had more ups and downs than the economy.  I finally found out what all of the congressmen have in common.  They all had the same jobs before politics: they were weathermen, which means they all have a degree in B.S.

There’s a lot going on this week, so let’s get right to it!  First, the Crappie are biting in three to six feet of water on the flats, and 25 – 30 feet of water on channels and bluffs.  Make sure you’ve got your jig tip with minnow.  Daylight until about 10:00 a.m. is the best time to find them, but they seem to shut down after that.
