NOT fit for man nor beast .........

[Ketchn]

I suppose that wasn't exactly the truth , there were quite a few beasts out in the flood and rain and cold . Then there was the 2 of us out in it as well . The weather forecast was rather dismal where we were headed ...due west of dfw.....and after 4 days of rain and the same thing over and over we said oh well lets just go . the one dock we are going to hit at least has a roof . I do know one thing with great certainty , we had 2 different folks tell us at 2 different locations say the EXACT same thing ! And both said this "now that's what real fisherman look like" ......
the first lake we visited was a complete strike out . the walkway was under water so we had to wade out to get on the dock . I had knew highs with me so I put them on and my bud who is beyond hardcore took off his shoes,pants and socks and waded it barefoot . Keep in mind it was 36 degrees and raining with a fair north wind blowing . We dropped jigs for about 30 minutes there and couldn't even get a peck .
So down the road we went to the second lake . The area flooding made the drive a bit tricky and the back roads between lakes were pretty ugly . We got to lake number 2 and looked out at the uncovered dock and said this ......"if we don't get bit right quick we are down the road for sure" . Sure enough we are there maybe 5 minutes and my bud hooks up ! Then I get a nice hard thump and I hook up. So there we stand in a rather steady cold rain ketchn crappie .Lost me several nice fish due to a batch of soft hooks . But as we got wetter and wetter we decided to hit a few other docks .We had about a dozen docks total in mind but because of the flooding we were only allowed by the rangers and the water levels to fish off 3 docks .
so out of 3 docks we found fish under 2 that wanted the jigs and once we were saturated beyond imagination and cold we went on down the road to home . Kept a few fish that were pretty fat and let a bunch a little fish swim on .
best baits seemed be something with a lot of chart .
water depths were around 15 feet .
the fish were parked on the bottom in brush .
nothing but crappie hit the offerings .
hope everyone has a great week .........
