    Default Fall Jungle time ....


    I went out very early today from about 7:30 am until about 9:30 am to a small private pond to try for some fall crappie action . Found a few in about 10 to 14 foot of water .They bit very much like bluegill and pecked away at the jig . I dropped a snake river tadpole 1.5 inches long in a chart and green on a 1/24 oz . ballhead number 6 sickle hook under a pinch on thill float set about 8 foot deep .
    Even the 4 black bass bit like that and the one fish that really bit good was a small warmouth , kept a few that I invited home for dinner later this week . This spot is not the typical spot for an average angler , it is basically jungle on the edge of a steep slippery shore that has about a foot ledge wide mud shore ....beavers keep it nice and wet and slippery along with the coons .Yes a few spiders and skeeters and such bother you and YES I did fall down one time and landed in a mostly dry spot ....LOL
    The grass/moss line is out about 6 to 7 foot off the shore , so after losing one pretty good slab in it , the rest of the fish took flying lessons and landed somewhere behind me in the thick .the first step off the little mud shelf goes to about 5 or 6 foot deep . not for the faint of heart but most certainly a real challenge .....
    got home in time for blueberry pancakes and lil smokies .....nice morning for sure ...hope you enjoy the read and photos ....

    Sounds like an adventure rather than a fishing trip.
