Hotel California syndrome

[Ketchn]

A week ago I set out that bamboo condo you folks might have seen I made out of the neighbors bamboo that likes to get in my yard behind my garage .
Now is there a method to my madness one might ask and I would answer most emphatically YES .
Ketchn 20,000 crappie or more a year without the use of a boat and electronics in most cases requires due diligence , patience , calculations , preparation and the will to ketch consistently .
Now one must keep in mind this about that , there is a reason I don't use my real name on any "fishing" websites and social gathering spots . I am only selling a good time and NOTHING more , am not a guide , am not a pro staff , am not trying to be a "somebody" in the angling world ,and don't get paid to do what I love to do . Yesterday was my 4th lake to visit in so many days ,and it isn't like they are anything like each other water wise , but that should NEVER deter the determined ......
Fast forward to my lunchbreak visit to the bamboo I dropped last week . Walked up , not a soul around ,hot as it could be outside and quiet as a church mouse was my approach . Dropped said tangerine dream that has been with me for about 10 days on the same rod and as it was planned .....KABOOM !
Ripped em like a big doggy did I , set that there condo on fire , thunk about dialing 911 due to all the fire raining down in that boat slip I tell ya . So if you ever go and think lil ole me is just fooling around , keep in mind this about that ....I am just fooling around , with a VERY dedicated approach to the acting clueless about all of it .....
The hotel California is open at this time and as they say you can check in any time you want !
And yes I did have a slight miscalculation on the height of said condo during the height setting and it is actually a bit taller than what I planned at 6 to 12 inches above the surface . The good news is this about that , EVERYONE that has a pass to visit that boat slip knows for sure what is in that boat slip ......
p.s. wanted it falling very slowly ONLY , not a peck on the rise , or parallel drag or dead sticking , water is about 8 foot deep and to be sure when you see the paint job coming off the jighead and a ton of lip tissue on it after each outing you might go and think it wasn't just an one time thing with that there blaze orange jig either

Ketchn 20,000 crappie or more a year without the use of a boat and electronics in most cases requires due diligence , patience , calculations , preparation and the will to ketch

And it requires over 54 crappie a day for all 365 days - WOW!

one outing a week that is really good at around 250 or 300 makes up for the off days bro ......
400 a week is not terribly hard to accomplish , 39 in an hour yesterday was kinda so so ...

You stated "Ketchn 20,000 crappie or more a year without the use of a boat and electronics in most cases requires due diligence , patience , calculations , preparation and the will to ketch"

Those are awesome numbers. That hotel has a waiting list for sure. Very nice.

Tangerine dream is getting the job done for you. Putting that condo in certainly helps as well. Good job.

400 a week x 52 weeks is still quite impressive! 1 great 300 day a week would require a catch of 1 fish per minute for 5 hours straight!

Awesome, congratulations

you would need to see me do it to understand my friend , way faster than a fish a minute even taking photos for sure . I can quite easily ketch and take an image of 2 per minute when the bite is on fire for sure maybe EVEN 3 if venus is lined up with mars .....
