    Default Dang fickle fall crappie


    I finally found a couple of docks on the Big G that were loaded with crappie om Saturday. I didn’t catch that many Saturday but I got a bunch quick spit crappie bites. We went in yesterday afternoon armed for dock shooting and we didn’t get a crappie bite all evening. I did catch some big bluegill off one dock yesterday where the crappie were Saturday

    I reckon the dang things moved on me. We had a west wind Saturday and an east wind yesterday so that may have made a difference. Plus the FLW is in town and apparently every one of them hits every dock on the lake

    Keep at it ,they are probably there just deeper under the dock. They are fast in the fall. You will miss a lot because of that. Full moon makes it worse to.

    In my experience it just makes them short strike.

    Sounds like my luck lately hanging in there though
    Every day is a holiday and every meal is a picnic.

    10-4 thanks. I even fished some minnows on a slip float under the dock and they were hitting them and letting go before I could even react. The float would go under and back up in about a 1/10th of a second.

    That's typical of a full moon. They are fast for some reason. I can't explain it but I've seen it to many times

    The moon isn't coming up until well after dark, which makes me wonder why the moon has that much effect on the bite? Just thinking out loud, not doubting what y'all are saying but there's lots of things I don't understand. LOL

    I hate full moons. Fish feed at night and short strike during day. Fur I had rather have the big bream you should have stayed and loaded boat if you could have. Might be bream pulling your float under and letting it go. Try smaller hook
