just one 6 pack please

That's what I needed to be sure I had plenty of fillets for dinner . So off I went in the dark this morning with my john boat . Floats at ready and away we went . Then as it often happens bass after bass after bass
After a bunch of floats gone down and a ton off bass including one that smashed my float and then my jig , I get another taker. I fight with it some and tell my bud yep another darn bass and up on top it comes and its a dandy crappie !
Well as it would happen about a foot from lipping it out pops my jig and way she goes . We both say ok , they are shallow we just have to get dialed up some .
We find only more bass and travel to all the spawning areas we know and it gets worse the more we travel . So we decide to go back to the general area I hooked the only crappie we saw so far.
Well I pitch and he pitches and at one point my float goes under real slow and something is on for a moment and then gone . then right afterwards he ketches a decent crappie . So the story begins and we start ketching a few crappie . Now mind you there are 2 bass to every crappie and about 2 thirds of the crappie or more we hook get off .
Anyway I got to string me up a 6 pack of nice ones and lose about a huge number of crappie for unknown reasons , but to be sure it was fun and then it stopped …..not a peck and it starts to rain and homeward I went .
The crappie I landed for the most part took the jig deep and were very committed to eating it as some took my float down a long time when I was day dreaming and or bird watching ….
about 2 foot deep under a float and if you moved your jig you wouldn't get bit ,dead still is how they liked it ,water temp was 54 and they were in about 4 fow ...
and now ….
guess whats for dinner tonight ….yeah buddy and …
KABOOM

Did ya fry up that roe I hear its mighty good. Folks here cook up the stripper roe with eggs for breakfast. That was nice stringer of Crappie.

Was waiting for your report. Makes me want to go fish in spite of zero success so far this year. Do not count the green carp, of course.
