A training jet crashed in a neighborhood the other day . The news said it was north of a freeway and dropped a pin on the spot . They did it because they are likely really dumb and or on purpose misleading the general public .
So in my lunch break travels I turn off that freeway close to where it all took place "according" to the news ,only SOUTH of that freeway ! As I approach my last few blocks to my desired location there in front of me blocking the road is some kind of traffic jam ?
I close in on the spot and there are several really strange looking white SUVs with no logo and flashing lights on them . The traffic is slow as heck and when I get to where all the different law enforcement vehicles there are, there sits a monster crane and an 18 wheeler wrecker and yellow tape all over the place and a huge crowd .
Drive on thru and think what in the heck was all that about ? Walked up to my spot and began my blind man episode once again . First drop jig sliding by a pole in the water in 6 feet of water and the line lays up . Fish one decent black crappie , slide my jig past the same pole in repeat fashion and fish 2 is a bit larger white crappie and also lays up the line .
Did my thing for an hour and managed 32 crappie , one really big fat white crappie came up from a tight spot at one point and I put my jig right back there and repeated the same presentation . Next one up was 3 inches long , and they say big crappie NEVER stay with the baby crappie right .....
limits tackle bright as the sun got it done and down the road I went digesting the "fake news" and thinking that if that jet went down just about an 1/8 of a mile sooner I would have had a very sad story to tell about my private dock area .
A few blocks after the crash site is where I play some days , the moral of the story is just this , never mind a hard norther blowing thru and or some fake news and NEVER let the things that might make you not go hit the water effect your agenda to ketch fish .
And the fish all went free to do what they "were" doing before I got there
