    Default Fishing in the heat yesterday


    Took Ms. Barbara fishing yesterday, my good friends wife. She is like a second mother to me and really enjoys catching crappie. We had originally planned to go the first Friday of May, but mother nature decided to dump a foot of rain on us. Re-scheduled the trip for yesterday, but had no way of knowing it would be a scorcher. Decided to tough it out and make the best of things.

    We ended up having a good day. Spider-rigged early and caught a few, then switched over to trolling cranks. During the hottest part of the day we targeted the bluegill and had a blast. Bet we caught over 100 gills. Barbara even caught a nice crappie in 2 ft of water on a cricket! By the day's end we'd managed a nice mess of fish.

    Wow, nice. I have a question if you dont mind. What cover were you fishing over, and at about what depth?

    You obviously made her happy. Reminds me of taking my mom out on the lake. Nice work.
    Good things come to those who bait.

    Seaslayer, the fish still seemed pretty scattered. I think the water conditions had a lot to do with that. While spider rigging we caught most our fish in 12 to 14 FOW. Pulling cranks, we caught them off drops and points.
