I would have just quit and went home.

I had my grandson with me this morning and we wanted to fish standing timber looking for big white crappie. The wind was 15 miles an hour gusting to 20. The waves made boat control tough. The wind made feeling the bite almost impossible.

At 10:00 we had 5 big crappie to show for the beating we were taking, I would have just called it a day. My grandson is one of those”just one more cast” kind of kids so we moved to brush piles in 15 foot of water, just to get out of the wind. We boat 20 black crappie by noon and headed home.

Nothing is better than being grandpa.

I was using a purple and yellow bumble bee jig. Ivan was using a red jig with a purple head

There IS nothing better than being a Papa. especially when you can share your love of fishing or hunting with them. WTG and you had to love it when even with tough conditions he wanted to stay for one more cast!
