Thread: Slow but Survivable Day on Louie

Went to Louie yesterday. Temperature was below 80 when I left the house! Water clear, nice breeze.
First spot I hooked a couple small crappie and the came off when I tried to swing them into the boat. Caught a bass on a jig and he made the team. Boat control was challenging due to the wind. Hit another spot and caught a gar on a jig.
Tried some more spots with no luck, then tried a steep bank with w fallen tree, and caught a small one.
Took a boat ride to try a few other places. One was a small tree in about 8 fow, and it was gone! I had marked it on my Hummingbird, but didn’t name it, so I couldn’t tell it from the four other waypoints in the area. Then tried a tree that fell in the water on a steep drop off. It’s the only cover for about a hundred yards of bank. Wind was blowing pretty hard by then, so boat control was an issue again. Finally threw a rope on a limp and caught the largest (or at least the least small) of the day. Trolling motor batteries were tired and so was I.
Glad it was “cool” enough to go!!

Glad you caught a couple! I haven't fished Louie that much for crappie but thinking about going back and looking around more.
