Tim (quackrstackr) and I got out on one of the nicest December days I can remember. I've been in the shop 7 days a week and had to get out. We found fish in one of Tim's hotspots that I haven't fished in quite a while. It started out slow then would get crazy for a few minutes then slow again. Lots of the fish we caught could have been caught longlining but we were getting the cobwebs off our spider rig gear. All were caught on jigs within a couple feet of the bottom in 15-20 feet of water.
Tim showed me a new way to shorten a new Southern Crappie Rod 14 foot pole. Let the braid line get close to the Rip Tide prop and a 14 footer instantly becomes a 12 footer. That's why they make replacement tips.
We ended up with 37 keepers. The big fish of the day hit the side of the boat and was gone plus Tim broke off on one. Lots of short fish, tons of yellows. Had one yellow perch and some hog bluegills. We left biting fish but I had failed to keep up with the clicker count.
It was a great day with an old friend who I don't get to fish with as much as I wish I could.
