I fished both days from dawn until 10:00 am, it was already 90° and the yahoos were thick by the shift change so I was more than happy to give them the water at quittin time.
Sat- Jigs only ( only other time I’ve done this is when I left my wallet at home and couldn’t buy bait) I pitched a 1/8 oz Black and chartreuse beaver tail style bait pretty much all day long. I caught fish the entire time, and the bite was pretty darn aggressive. In all caught 50 or so with 7 keepers, many many many 9” fish, 2023 should be a good one.

Sun-The time I spend livescoping is very efficient, I’m always on fish but they ain’t always bitin. I think sometimes I’d be better off leaving a big wad of crappie that won’t bite and finding somethin a more receptive group rather than spending an hour pitching around to a couple of spots. Sometimes I think I spook them getting too close, I watch them start to really bunch up around the cover after someone slams a cooler lid or drops a phone, etc..I digress. So I would have bet anything I would have done just as well today as yesterday, WRONG. Fishing gods heard me pounding my chest and they answered with a serving of humble pie to boot. Fish were all in the same areas and depths as they have been,8-12 feet deep in 30 feet of water, but very tight lipped to my offerings early on, after two hours of fishing I had lost two pigs and landed 3 crappie. I moved spots and maybe hit 20 or so short fish and 1 12” over the next couple of hours, but I had to run a Bday party for my 8 year old and the weather was rough on this ol boy.
Side note** while I was stowing my motor and cleaning up a wake boat skirted within 50 yards of me and I had a series of 4 foot waves bearing down on me while I was helpless on the front deck. The waves crashed over the bow swamping my boat, and I had to hold onto the motor shaft to avoid being tossed overboard. I know you boys mind your manners out there but everyone ain’t so nice, y’all stay safe and be careful out there.
