A Crazy Day

[Blackhawk19]

I got on the lake at 6am and moved out to fish around the big drain pipe at the dam of
one of the private lakes I fish. I baited up both my rods with minnows and moved in close
to the pipe I set the pole to my left next to the pipe an then the right one. By the time I looked
back at the left one the float was going down, I set the hook and it was a heavy fish and jut then
I noticed the right one was going down, set the hook and another heavy fish. Well now I had
my hands full and I backed the boat away from the pipe so I had room. I finally got them worn
down enough that I could have both poles in one arm , grabbed the net and landed them. I set
there lookin at two big crappie thinking this is gonna be great day. Boy was I wrong, They shut
down and I only caught 2 small ones the rest of the morning. I fished a lot of spots in the lake
and I have no idea why they shut down.
I should have said that the water temp was 71° and they still had eggs.



This one was 17" and was an ounce short of 3lbs


Here's a picture of the two that were in the net at the same time, that is a 12" tile they're on


Here's the total catch for the morning

Nice fish man, I thought that stuff like that only happen to me. Don't know why but it happens!

Sometimes a good fish on the first drop is not a good sign.

If you fought them hard where you caught them they may have put the other fish off the bite. If I catch a big fish I will pull them out of the immediate area and fight him away from where I caught him. Then wait a few minutes before fishing that spot again. Those were some very nice hogs. EB
