• Hat change time and do NOT laugh

    You might start the day with a nifty crappie.com ball cap .
    but to be sure on your return to the sun midday you will likely change hats .
    heck you might even use some slab sauce from an old bottle that is almost empty .
    but its likely only because your are eager to open a new garlic bottle up .
    one thing for certain some days are better than others on the water .
    why I don't know and trying to decide what factors drives it is crazier than me .
    sure was a nice day to whack lips and you might even notice the lip tissue on my jig
    in the real pretty slabsauce and jig photo I took .
    now mind you I was lectured by the local tribe about having to use minnows
    was told over and over its a minnow bite due to the muddy water .
    somewhere in the area of 5 to 1 against the 2 locals using minnows
    one gave up and started catfishing and the other changed over to a jig .
    in the end they had lots of fish in the basket to go with the ONE keeper they got
    just so you know it wasn't a me me me thing
    I returned to a different spot at midday on that lake and let me say this about that
    that lunch break there was as good as it gets .
    I hammered em like nobodies business all alone in that big sun
    no big fish in the mix but to be sure almost every fish was a keeper both visits
    managed about 35 keepers in so many minutes second visit
    and let me just say this about that ….the jig was simply MAGIC !
    it even ketched a pretty nice combo rod and reel with the upc still on the handle !
    complete with a nice crappie jig on it I might just add ….
    so in the end will slabsauce ketch you a new rod and reel combo ?
    I don't know but it did for me ...
    yawl have a happy and safe 4th and for sure enjoy the KABOOM
    p.s. and yes my native American name is "he who hammers"

      Great day for sure Outlaw! Ketchn like that when the locals are telling you it's a minnow bite only and your jigging it is epic. Great day as usual and like the home made jig!
