*** 3-4-2010 *** ****** FISHIN ADVENTURES BY Ripp ****** Well it was a much better Fishin day den i taught it was gonna be. i want to Thank Johnny S. and guest from Arkansas for fishin with us today. dem boys are some Big Time Green Trout Fisherman and all dey wanted to throw was some kind of Artifical bait and i told dem dat wasn't a problem, i all so told dem dat fishin has been kinda slow but dat wasn't da case today. now when i put da boat in da water dis mornin i had to back way way down to float it off da trailer and for a while i taught China was gonna have to pull me out da back down slip with da tractor. we had a Great sunrise dis mornin with all kinda of colors when it came up over da trees and let me told y'all its been a while since we saw one of dem on da water. we left da dock at 7 o'clock and i never stopped da boat for 45 minutes cuz da water was so muddie up close you could have bottled it for chocolate milk so i just kept runnin South and da more South we went da better da water got. our 1st. stop was to get my crew lined up with some Gold Spoons & spinner baits. i saw 5 or more fish movein along da bank when i stopped. i got my crew all set up and dey went to fishin and boy could dem dudes fish. now sometime you have to watch out for dem people you talk with on da phone cuz at one time or an other dey all Great Fisherman and casters, now i can tell y'all from experience dats BULL-SHIT. now we didn't catch anyting on dat 1st. stop but we did see some more fish runnin alone da bank, i told my crew now dat i saw what dey can do with a rod lets move a lil bit. we ran about 10 more minutes West and when i slowed da boat down we saw about 15 to 20 fish move in a lil pond right over da bank, i told my crew dat we could ease up about 100 yards and i could put us right in castin range of dem redfish, now i didn't know if we would be able to catch any of dem cuz it looked to be about 8 inches deep cuz most of da fish we saw had dare backs out of da water. now my crew was ready and waitin, movein around one another for da best castin position. dey was pacein up and down da boat, dey was more nervous den a Hoe in Church on Sunday mornin. now dey was all in position and right before we got in range, i mean right before we got in range i turned da boat around and y'all should have seen dat mess, dey was doin some cussin at me. dey made a bunch of cast and even hit a couple of fish, dragged da spoon right across dare backs with no luck and dat went on for a good 20 minutes or so but da fish never moved away from us. i told dem to make a couple more cast and if dey didn't catch one dat i would get on da back of da boat and show dem how it should be done, well dey all started on me den Johnny said i give you 5 cast for 5 dollars, he said if on any cast i catch a fish he would give me 5 dollars, now i'am knot a bettin man but i told him i would take him up on dat. i reached in da rod holder and pulled a rod with a cork rig on it den i reached in da ice chest and took out a few dead shrimp, now dey all got pretty quite while i was baitin up dat hook, dem redfish was about 20 yards from us, i let dat cork and shrimp fly and it landed right behind dem fish and i was tryin to reel it up right in da middle of dem but i never made it, i got right on da edge and dat cork went sideways and when i looked back to ask one of dem to get da net dey was all reachin for dem other couple of rods with a cork on it. now i asked dem what happened to da Great sportmans dey are cuz dey told me dey like to give da fish a fair chance. now we stayed right dare and caught 11 nice redfish, now Johnny caught 3 on 3 cast and when da 3rd one was right next to da boat he hollared at me to net da fish and i told him knot till i see my 5 dollars, now dem 5 dollars came out his pocket pretty quick like. i was really surprised to see dem redfish ganged up like dat, now dats how we used to see dem at dis time of year but its been a while since i saw anyting like dat. it turned out to be a good fun day of fishin. my crew was amazed at how much a 8 pound redfish could pull, i told dem Redfish was like a Bass on steroids and dey got to see 1st. hand what i was talkin about. i will be back out on da water in a couple of days till den keep y'all bait wet.

Man i wanted to tell dem so bad dat dey look like dey do cuz dey don't get dare frickin head out of da ice box all day long. now 30 years after you had your last child you shouldn't have to turn side ways to fit in a chair and be able to still blame dat on your children's child birth, get over it Ladies, some got it, some gonna get it from hard work in a Gym, knot in da Ice Box and some no matter what ain't never gonna have it and i'am pretty sure from what i saw dem Ladies behind me never had it and never gonna get it. well i tink dats enough for me cuz i might have bit off more den i can chew. i know i'am gonna get a lil feed back from dem last few lines. gotta go, oh yea one last ting before i go, we had a really bad flight da last 45 minutes today cuz us and a very strong Cold Front with strong gusty winds with Heavy Rain got at da New Orleans Airport at da same time and da Cold Front Won, now you couldn't see da end of da wing on da plane cuz it was rainin so hard and we was bouncein around like a cork in rough water and you could hear all kind of sounds comein from people all around us cuz we MISSED our 1st. landin try. we was headed down with da wind breaks on and when we broke thur dem clouds and i saw da Mississippi River i new someting wasn't right and right about dat time da pilot gunned dem engines and threw us back in our seats and UP we was headed once again. now i'am pretty sure when we did land safe on da ground and parked dat plane dey had a few people walked off of it with SHIT in dare pants.

Yea, he's down on da ground i taught cuz i new he fell right behind dem trees and he would be layin dare when i got to him, WRONG, all i got dis time is White Hair, knot as much as last time but a good bit, knot a Drop of Blood, no big deal cuz i'am gonna come back in da mornin when its light and look for him. well i never found him dis time either. now dis is pissin me off, i done missed to many Deer dis season, maybe more den i missed my hole life. of course you got to check your gun to see if its it but when its knot off who get da blame den. well i didn't sleep good dat night cuz you replayin dat shot over and over again in your head, den if dat ain't bad enough you tink you could have missed a good easy shot but now you tinkin if when you dropped your gun it knocked da scope off. dis Deer Huntin is a lot of hard work as y'all can see. after lookin and knot findin dat Deer i got to go and look for a couple of spots to hunt with Layla. OK, now its Friday mornin and my Bride and Layla is comein up today so Layla can make a couple of hunts with Paw-Paw. now i need my 4 wheeler to run around on, i hook on to it to move it up about 10 feet so i can get da bike off da trailer cuz its backed up to da weeds and it looks like i could use some earl on da ram so i walk back to da truck and get my earl can and spray it down good den walk back to da truck pick up my earl can den get in da truck, dats right, if you followin me good y'all know i didn't pick up da ram, i put da truck in drive, now bear in mind it rain pretty good da night before, like 4 inches. da tires spin a lil bit so i hit da switch for 4 wheel drive, now i come ahead but as soon as i let up off da gas i stop pretty quick, so now i tink i'am draggin someting i get out of da truck and as soon as i clear da bumper i see da ram is now on a prefect 45 degree angle still stuck in da mud about 3 inches, now is dat Stupid or what, y'all know what dey say you can't fix Stupid. if Deer season don't hurry up and get over i ain't gonna have anyting left to hunt with. SHIT HAPPENS, now if it wouldn't be for Bad Luck i wouldn't have any Luck at all. Big Craig had to cut dat dam ram off with a Grinder, i wasn't about to touch any power tool myself. now everyting on Layla's hunt went Good, we didn't see any Deer but we did see other wild life den we put da boat in da water and went fishin in da lake, den when done with dat she wanted to ride da 4 wheeler so we done dat to, Layla and me got to see 4 Deer while ridein da 4 wheeler. Paw-Paw flat wore her out, she was some tired when it got dark, Yea, Paw-Paw was pretty tired to. now Big Craig and Jim made it in to make a evenin Hunt on Friday but nobody had any luck. Saturday was pretty much da same ting, we ate good but no Deer was killed. now Sunday mornin i go back to da stand where i hit dat Deer twice but never killed it, Craig's puts Jim in a stand next to me and he goes next to Jim, we got da creek lined up pretty good. now at 20 minutes to eight i here Jim shoot, one shot. i never heard da bullet hit but i taught it could have been a close shot. lil while later i here da Jeep so Craig is headed to Jim to pick up da Deer i taught. now for a good while i didn't here anyting, i was tinkin dat dey was Blood trailin and den draggin da Deer back to da Jeep. now i didn't know dat Jim shot da Deer i all ready shot twice, he shot da Deer at about 80 yards dropped it in his tracks, now da Deer is on da ground layin still for about 1 minute, now Jim is lookin at da Deer on da ground, it starts to move around and try to stand back up and it does, now dares a tree right in da middle of da body so all he can see is each end so he says to him-self i'am gonna let it take a step or 2 den shot it again, well da Deer does take a step right into da open and Jim trys to shoot again but he forgot to eject da 1st. shot and by da time he gets da second bullet into da chamber da Deer has walked into da brush never to be seen again, now is dat some Shit or what. da only ting Craig and Jim found on da ground where da Deer was layin was a hand-ful of white hair. now between my 2 shots and Jim's one shot we done knocked enough hair off dat Deer its probably gonna freeze to death. Craig and Jim looked for a long time but never found da Deer or even seen where it could have fell down again. i tink dat Deer got some kind of force field around it. i shot it twice and Jim shot it once and its still walkin around. i might have to start next Deer season with a shot gun once again dat way when i shoot one shell 15 lil pellets go flyin at da Deer, maybe i could break a leg or 2. gotta run for now.

*** 1-19-2010 *** ****** FISHIN ADVENTURES BY Ripp ****** Been gettin a few e-mails and phone calls about da Cold Weather we had any everybody wanted to know da same ting, did all dat below 32 degree weather Kill any fish. Well i put dis matter to rest cuz i went see for myself dis mornin and YES i did see a few Dead redfish, black-drums, mullets & a few specks but knot even enough to worry about. i tink da fish i saw dead was fish dat got jammed up in some reel shallow spots and couldn't get out den when da water came up dey floated out into deeper water. i pretty sure i told y'all dis before but da Freeze don't kill da Fish its da Muddy water dat gets to dem, dey can't filter out da oxygen when da water is dat muddy. unlike lots of other place along da coast we have no sand in our marsh just MUD and when da wind blows 25 miles per hour from da North for 2 or 3 days like it did dat takes our water and brings it to da Gulf and whats left behind is MUD and very lil water so da fish dat is trapped in its only a matter of time for dem. i ran thur lots and lots of open water and lots of ponds and like i said da dead fish i saw ain't enough to worry about cuz on any givein day when fishin season is goin strong more undersize fish dat is caught and released pop back up to da surface den what i saw today. now da water is still cold but i don't tink we have anyting to worry about. hope to see y'all in 2010 on da water.
