A seemingly lifeless creek, that i have drove by 1000s of times...

i decided to stop and drop a jig in to some stumps on this little creek.

caught 30 crappie in about 40 minutes. the wind was blowing bad so i wasn't always able to make an accurate cast. but everytime i landed the jig in that "certain spot", i caught a crappie. caught one nice shell cracker too.

kept the 15 biggest ones and will be having those for dinner tonight.

thanks to all of you experts here for the great advice and tips.

Nice! Always great to find a new spot.

How cool is that? Good for you for stopping and trying someplace new!

Your catch shows that this sport is open to all.

[buckhavoc]

thats to cool. You have gotten yourself a personal Honey hole there Brad!

yeah, now i need to buy a "nucanoe" so that i can get up and downstream. surely there are more beds on this little creek.

they sure do like those yellow crappie thunder jigs. so do the bass and shellcrackers evidently.

Yeh, and all of ours as well. Heck I got a pretty good un on the back of our property and hardly ever hit it. I think my boat gets jealous when i go creek fishin and the last thing you want is a mad boat.

wonder how shallow of a creek crappie will live in. We have a always running creek behind my house that has some deep holes in it but don't know if a fish even lives in the thing. it ties into a bigger creek but just never have seen a fish in it. so was wondering if a fish could possibly be in it.
