Sometimes you go in just simply knowing you about to have a difficult time ketchn crappie.
post eclipse maybe ? big bad storm and 4 plus inches of rain during the spawn .
water chilled and got murky er ....
you roll up , NOT a peck along the bank and you start to worry .....
you move out on the dock to deeper waters , you ketch a few and THEN ....
minus monnows and LS and a boat it dawns on ya .....they want it just so so and to be very sure of this part .....
they want the fella in the Crappie.com gear to smoke the living fire out of them
So once again in a world of wonder how it will be today
Crappie.com gear to the rescue , GO get ya some ....
KABOOM
51 keepers in an hour and 15 minutes and wasted some of that figuring out how it had to be to hammer em like ya mean it ....
particulars are as follows , on cover in multiple areas in water 6 to 9 foot deep .
jig had to be lightly hopping up up and up and then let fall ....
no intermediate water fish and no shallow water fish
and then this ....a 16.5 inch whale fish at the end of the show
sure made the 14 inch fish earlier in the outing look so so ....
AND I happened to be using something with orange in it ....just saying
