Vacation Day Fishing

[STL Crappie Nightmare]

Hit the lake today about 10:30 and ran into a couple of legends, I was fishing in the shadow of Buckwheat, OSS who I knew and one more legend lurking in the shadows that I had no idea about. The pressure was on with OSS in such close proximity and I caught 4 pretty quick ones so I felt pretty good about myself. But when they left it seemed as if the fish did too, but there was another boat with an older gentleman that was showing the crappie no mercy. He even told me to come fish by him which was really cool but I didn't want to invade his space, after chatting with him and the other gentleman in the boat with him that I've spoke with in the past (sorry I forgot your name) I found out that the older gentleman was Charlie Rodgers. And he was as good as advertised, the crappie didn't stand a chance and he was really cool to talk and didn't mind me getting close to them. I must say he was a class act, don't know to many guys who will tell a stranger to come and fish right next to him and tell me what they were using and how they were catching them. As far as my report, ended up with 10 really good one and as you can see from the live well the water was very murky.

Glad you found a few to make it worth your trip. It sure is fun fishing and chatting with Charlie. May have been his brother Steve that was with him. We're they eating the magic fish flavored peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?
