    Exclamation Pinkies Rule ....


    Paul and I went to Taylorsville today ... probably caught 40-50 Crappie & came home with 10 keepers (10.5 - 11.5")

    Water was slightly dirty in spots, but pretty clear overall.

    We fished the main lake banks, casting 1/16oz light pink & hot pink marabou Road Runners (custom made) in 4-6fow.

    Water temps were 63-65deg and the wind was blowing every whichaway (but that's normal for me, as I can go from a windy bank, across the lake to a calm bank, and as soon as I get there the wind kicks up.

    6 keeper males 4 keeper females (still with some eggs)





    Tried jigs on some deeper trees that were stacked with fish, but only managed to have them run up to it & study it before swimming away (watched on Livescope).

    Danny .... my buddy was using 6# Vicious on a 6' med action rod, while I was using 10/2 PowerPro braid on a 7' med/hvy rod/Shimano Spirex 2000 reel. Casting distances are similar between the two at 30-40ft (+/- per wind direction).

    It may have been just "luck", but I still have the same Road Runner on that I've used for the last couple of trips, while my partner has lost 4 Road Runners in the same amount of trips. (though, it could have also been that his reel's bail spring was broken & he was having to hand close the bail, resulting in his Road Runner dropping deeper on splashdown, plus his tendency to cast much too close to the shoreline.)
