Thread: Caught some

Friday October 20th, 2017

The Stats:

Caught these White and Black Crappie Shallow (1-4') around cover...wood and Lilly Pads. All 10" plus keepers (18). Was Single Line Polling with an 11'-0" Graphite rod, 6lb test, tipped with 1/16 Pearl green and Chartreuse tube jig with Redhead and white and black eyes. I was free swimming it carefully and also using a small bobber at times. The bobber allows me to let it just sit there a moment...then a flick or two sometimes triggers that bite. Also can reach out and flip it back in there without getting hung. Some fish were in less than a foot. Was a fairly good bite, but not great. Had to really work around for these. Water temp had really dropped from a week before. Now 68 to 70.

Tight lines and persistence...
