Tough Times Don't Last, Tough Fisherman Do.

This can be the time when most crappie anglers stop chashing the elusive 3lber. Its easy to say" the crappie just ain't eatin'". I used to give up at this time of year and start targeting someother species. But there will be a short transition and the the crappie will become very predictable and easy to target. I have had my best days of large fish catching, in the heat of the summer, than I ever had in the winter or spring months. Once you find these fish they will begin to clump back up and move together.

This is my self-motivational spech to myself. Hopefully this will keep me in the game with the right thought process!

Keep your bait wet

yup. i cant wait to get back to wrecking em at sunset. get there at the right time, right spot and tear em up. one particular lake i fish they go on and off like a light at the same time.

also about that time the menhaden will be back on the St.Johns where you can nail a pod with the cast net and in 1 throw you have bait for days. thats goooooood fishin!
