I fished yesterday with Lynn and Long Enuff in search sheeps. I left the fiddlers in the garage and forgot to cover them up like I normally do. I almost spit my coffee out as I glanced down to see all of them upside down as I was leaving to meet them. Luckily for us, Long Enuff performed CPR on them as we drove to the landing. Lines in at 8:30, first sheep in the boat(3#) on the first drop followed by the beast of the day, an 11# caught by Long Euff. It was his “first” trip is what he told us:wink:. We worked over one general piece of structure for a few hours by re-anchoring, etc. and had constant action. The overall size for the day was smaller than normal(2#), but the action made up for it. We did bring home some fish, but weren’t greedy for size or numbers. All in all, another great day on the pond with a bunch of great guys!

nice slab sheepie…mind sharing your fiddler CPR skills with the rest of us mere mortals?
You will have to make some mini-paddles... A 9 volt battery seems to be the sweet spot. Red goes on the left side of the heart and your ground goes on the right side. You definitely don't want to reverse the polarity or your crabs could have all kinds of complications, like murmurs, weak valves, etc.
Fiddler CPR by Long Enuff…mouth to mouth, 5:1 ratio (compressions to breaths)…only use your lil’ finger for compressions as the lil’ guys are fragile! 40ft. was the depth for the day

The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor.

We had a great time for sure! That fiddler CPR is very time consuming, but worth it!!
Here are a couple of pics of the fish we caught.
BTW, not only did LE catch the biggest of the day, he saved my chain and Mighty Mite. We pulled and pulled with the boat, but the chain had it locked down. Well, LE grabbed the rode with his hands and pulled the anchor free! [:0] He is the man!! Saved me close to $200…

Fiddler CPR technique: Place the fiddler containers between your feet on the floorboard of the pickup. Crank up the heat and turn the heater air to the floor. Listen carefully as the little critters come to life. Anchor pull is not a new Olympic or Strongman sport, but a stroke of luck!
If you can’t fix it with a hammer, you’ve got an electrical problem.
Well, we set the hook so hard, they didn’t know what hit 'em…

Lynn is too big for that. He would sink up past his knees and I would have to pull him out again!

I’m just trying to keep you young!
I wonder who has a birthday tomorrow? [:0]

Awesome pics guys, I’ve never fished for them deep. So do you just rig it like a bottom rig with the fiddler over some structure, say the edisto 40 or something?

I haven’t forgot about you Paul. I just know you work during the week, unlike a couple of us bums that don’t work at all…[:0]
