Magic Merv

[jaybird]

No, no the chick flick with stripper dudes. Although I must say he was looking buff this weekend. Put in a 7 Points Saturday morning. Spent about two hours lost in the fog early in the morning. Thought I was by the 4 1/2 but discovered I was by Cooks when the fog lifted. Motored to 4 1/2 and could not find fish for anything. Moved to a part of the lake I never fish and was marking fish but could not make anything bite....until Merv showed up with other folks on board. He started catching fish and then so did I. Put 19 in the boat in two hours. 2 slab crappie on swim baits, 2 whites and 15 hybrid all a A rigs. Went back Sunday and caught 7 more, two that found their way to the frying pan yesterday. Never hooked a fish until I saw Merv in the area both days. I may owe the Ageless one. And...Skillet I apologize for not introducing myself, did not realize you were the skunk in the boat with TNBronzeback. If you ever want to catch fish, let me know. You can take a ride in my old tank.

Skillet, if you really want to catch fish, I'll pair you up with SAMBOLIE, then you can both skunk up one boat and quit skunking up the rest of us!

TN, funny thing about me pulling in fish while we were talking, the exact same thing happened to me on Wednesday.
Pulled up next to another fisherman (I would have said "friend" but that would have given skillet too much ammunition to go on about my lack of friends) and, like you, while my partner and I rode beside we him chatting, he pulled in three fish in about 5 minutes!

Pretty sure Merv has a dog whistle for fish
