    Default Caught several on stumps yesterday


    I decided to take my "creek boat" on a little paddle up late yesterday.

    i have a new B'n'M Sam Heaton 9 ft rod that i wanted to try.

    paddled up a section of bear creek. loaded up a small float with with a 1/16 road runner jig head and a strike king ragetail slab hammer crappie grub (THESE ARE NICE !!!).

    i started catching crappie at the first stump that i tried. all were caught in less than 3 ft of water. ended up catching 15 or so in under 2 hours. which i was proud of since it is so hot.

    the sam heaton rod is incredible. very sensitive.Name:  crappie_july17.jpg

    no real "slabs"...most were about the size of the one in the picture.

    i love the sam heaton. i worry about it being a little on the "delicate" side. time will tell. i'd buy another if i broke it.

    i have a heavier 12f ft brushcutter too. but fishing with anything longer than 9 or 10 ft is cumbersome on the creeks. i like using them better on open water where there aren't trees everywhere to hang on.

    those rage tail grubs may turn out to be a real winner for strike king. that tail really moves.

    Nice trip with a good catch. Show a pic of the boat maybe? I have a couple of the BGJP by BnM in 8' and like em a lot. Those Sam Heaton rods are sweet.

    Look like our little duck poke boat... Those things are stealthy for sure. Congrats on a good rod and great trip

    Looks like your boat would do well on Reelfoot Lake as well as some of the small creeks around home.
