Racoon Crappie ?

[Ketchn]

I managed one the other day , along side of 56 others in shallow water . Sure lost a ton of fish though . Very tricky getting them to the bank in the rain and the brush . But someone has to do it right ?
Hit it at very first light and knew an approximate location where I lost a fish 3 days before . The spot was loaded up to beat the band ,boys and girls together dancing in the rain .
I did manage a pair of bass in the mix ,but that was when I first got there , after daylight it was all crappie and flat on fire .
Now mind you I lost 2 rigs in a tree that hung over the beds and I will post a photo of just where I had to cast over and over and over again . 3 hours of non stop it was and then I had to go to work .
Towards the end of the ordeal I was losing and missing a big number of fish and after a dozen or so and a few falling off in the grass I noticed I didn't have a hook point anymore !
particulars are as follows , the rig was set up about 3 foot deep and the fish were in about 4 to 6 foot of water off a steep rock ledge . If you set the hook when the float went down or got bit you came up empty ! you had to let the float be gone a good long time before you let them have it .
stay tuned last nights episode on white crappie at another lake was about all that with icing on it I tell ya .
buts that's yet another fish story

Couldn't be too far south since he had to leave for work. But that was for sure a rough place to get into cast after cast. Had I been fishing there I probably would have lost my rig 9 casts out of 10. Great job of getting to them along with your normal great job of catching them.
