KABOOM!!
Those are some pretty jigs. Sounds like a fun trip.
I wish I could load short videos , I got couple of short ones that are ok . I will try to post them on my little mini "you tub" channel …..
Anyway let the ever fishee stories begin .
The truck ride was sloppy , the mud was ,well lets just say mud . the rain was steadily getting to be more and a big norther was blowing thru . Really poor conditions to ketch in most would tell ya .
The good news is I hit it prefront by about an hour and at first it wasn't raining terribly hard and it wasn't windy just yet .
First light first drop and bought got my rod taken out of my hand by a whopper slab who proceeded to school my not so ready rear end and escape my clutches by a hair !
From there on I only lost one fish and it wasn't a crappie ,probably a hybrid striper as that lake has them and I stumbled into a shad spawn on the rocks and an ABSOLUTE fish FEEDING FRENZY ! The water was just a constant blow up along the shoreline and the crappie were flat out hammering the jigs . I imagine it wouldn't matter much what you dipped in the water but I used 3 different sizes and colors and got bit pretty much the same on all of them . As I got wetter and wetter I quit after about an hour and half at an even 35 crappie and 2 sand bass .
Sure was fun to get bit so hard I tell ya , nothing compares to bone jarring crappie thumps for sure .
I did foul hook one bluegill in the frenzy I forgot to mention and I released all the fish to go on with what they were up to before I stumbled into their little breakfast buffet .The fish that broke me off was likely not a sand bass as I can handle one on my rod even when they are large . It might have been a large black bass ,but I think more likely a hybrid striper , all I know is it marched on the hookset and went thru some brush on its way to open water and that was my friends the end of that
As you can imagine I was wetting my jig in very short water with no float and it was good times no doubt . Until I hit them again ….
it could have happened just like that btw …..and as always
KABOOM is the word yawl and I aint fooling around
p.s. forgot to mention one of them BRAND NEW pink headed Sk handites got all wet in the rain with me ….

Sounds like a HAMMER fest..... Stay At'um
it was a hammer fest my friend and I will have to admit I did hook some of the not intended fish just because I could .
blowing up water automatically makes me want to cast into it ….my apologies for the side ways action in the middle...
I am sure you understand ….

That’s some slab slinging fun!
I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
the light steady rain that got more and more took a little of the fun out of it as I didn't have rain gear with me .
so as I started to get pretty saturated it became less and less fun.
then there was also this hammer bite where I set the hook and missed the fish and busted my knuckles right good on a metal rail along a walkway
so yes it was fun , but sometimes it costs a little to have fun you know
