    Default Where's the Crappie?


    Set up last night before dark.Had the light in the water, everything looked great. Had minnows around the light. Almost 2 hours later- 1 Crappie. Did have nearly a full moon, behind the clouds a little. Caught fish here before. I have a 612 Green Reel Light. Any advice welcomed..Thanks..

    Try the chumming.........the reason is to get the bait fish "WILD" and creating all kinds of actions.
    Thereby creating a got to have attitude from the game fish.
    Trying hard to not refer to................................................ .... like making out

    RoflRoflHands Clapping What do you use for chum? I threw a few dead minnows in around the light. I couldn't believe how many minnows we had there, the most ever. Will move a little next time... Thanks..

    The darker the night, the better the bite. I switch over to catfishing with a bright moon.
