My Brother used to get so mad at me.

We would be on a good Crappie bite and doing well after we had a few in the live well I would reel up and go searching, for new spots. To me it was the ideal time to find new spots it makes finding them much easier for the bad days or at least new options where there were fish. Many will only search when the bite is tough which makes it even harder to find new spots at least in my mind. Oh he would just be upset and complain the whole time until we did get on more fish many times in an area we may have never really tried..

If he was your older brother, you should've listened to him.

I'll do that if I have a tourney coming up...... Be for sure most times they would be on a different pattern by the next day though.....LOL
Putting that work in is a very important step that most overlook......

I've been told,and I believe, that you never leave fish to find fish.

[BroKenneth]

Exactly. Get your limit where you find them then go searching and play catch and release the rest of the day.

If I were your brother I would be mad too, then get over it since I would be fishing with my brother. Now if it was your wife well then may me a different story all together.

on a bite i stay .....i go to ketch .... but i know lots of folks that will leave a bite to look for bigger and better ones
i am the bird in the hand fella ....

[hdhntr]

depends on situation. when your ketchn the big ones, very hard to leave when bite still on but if they are meh but still fun like to go looking.

Maybe part of the reason I do this is I very seldom go to catch a limit the most fun for me is figuring them out and finding fish. I very seldom keep a limit maybe 4-5 times a year.
