    Default I am learning


    I have never caught a limit of crappie when fishing by myself. But I am learning. I went to my lake Tuesday and was fishing by sun up. At first I could not get any bites, they would just bump the jig or pull the plastic down on the hook, even with attractant on it, and I couldn’t get them in the boat. So after a little while and changing lures a few times, I put on a Berkley gulp minnow, and presto, crappie in the boat. I caught three on the first three drops, and then one more. I moved to the next brush pile and caught two more. Then I went back to my plastic body, a black and green tube with sauce on it and they kept biting. After a few more fish, I went back to the first brush pile and caught more on the tube. By 11am I had 12 nice crappie and 4 good bream, and I had to go home for other obligations. That was the best day I have had by myself. I think I see a limit in my future before to long. I will never give up.

    I feel your pain on the limit. I have never caught a limit by myself either. I want to just one time pull up at the boat ramp and someone asks me how many I caught, and have a limit in my livewell.

    Good Job Mister!! I always learn more and think about what’s going on more when I fish alone.

    Good catch, keep on trying for that limit, it will come soon. The cool weather should bunch them up even more, pretty soon limits will be your normal catch. If you are from Texas be sure to read Ketchns posts, he can sure rip the lips on those Texas Specks!!
