Several years ago I was fishing Thanksgiving morning, casting a Shadrap to shallow cover. I caught a bass from a treetop and it weighed 7 lbs. 2 ozs on my Deliar hand-held scales. As I released her, I noticed it was a few minutes after noon and thought of all the people sitting down to a meal of turkey and dressing. I realized I would rather fish than eat, even if the eating was a holiday meal. It helped to know my turkey and dressing would be served that night when my all my family gathered for the meal.
When I went in a little before dark, I got a surprise - and cold stares from my wife and my mother. The big meal that year was at noon so my brother could go to his in-laws for dinner. I had been so excited about going fishing I had not really paid attention to my instructions. I missed the meal and was the only one in the family not there. I got only a cold turkey sandwich for dinner, to go with the cold stares - and still would rather fish than eat.
Fishing is usually excellent around Thanksgiving. Big bass are often feeding in shallow water in late November in mid-Georgia and you can catch them by fishing a crankbait around stumps, trees and rocks. It is fun fishing because you are casting to a target and it is usually productive, making it even more fun.
