    Default Now for the rest if the story


    After 3 fabulous days o ketchn faced the fishing quandary. Do you leave great fishing to go where your fishing guru's are telling you they are on the banks and big? Well these guys are reliable and bymo is up from FL and wanted to get back to my cabin anyway so after that great day in last post we left that night.

    Usually the bymo factor means "should have been here yesterday " but not this time. We hit it perfect next morning and had our limits o slabs quickly and were on the banks.

    Then we went to another lake to see if they were spawning as another buddy whacked a big stringer last year. Wasn't but did ketch 6 good black crappie that fought like bass and really smacked those jigs! Stopped at friends house on way back and gave him those for fresh dinner.

    Next morning KABOOM happened ketchn great fish in close and man was that fun! Bymo did even better and quicker but I finished in a flourish with final 7 in about 10 minutes.

    Turkey hunting buddy saw me at house Stopped by with his usually great stories of big game trips and hunger for crappie. BOOM another bucket o crappie left with out having to clean! Score! Another satisfied customer.

    Then here comes another neighbor w his powerful diesel grasshopper mower to make short work of our very high grass. I am on a roll! And he leaves with a couple of bags o crappie. I keep all the neighbors supplied and they do all kinds of nice things for us.

    Final morning comes with high winds out of east and we debate going or not and u know the saying but we go anyway and KABOOM happens again. We hit an easy access area and limits o big crappie happens again!

    Magical week with crappie ketchn from Sunday thru Friday. Plus got to share it with friend who lives to fish but hasn't had much success recently.

    Even had a nice young guy say " hey your the hdhntr" and have nice visit. Had his two beautiful k8ds in tow and got them into the spawning fun. Lurks but doesn't post. Would have been great report if he would have shown his big stringer and cute kids ketchn. If you read this please do so we can all share your joy.

    16th jig either dipped next to bank or brought back slowly 5 to 10 foot off bank. Color didn't matter much but chartreuse partly.Name:  20220427_094943.jpg

    Great thing is my son and his crew showed up at my cabin and unfortunately the weather turned with cold front and winds and pushed them off bank but had lot of FRESH crappie ready for the fryer and they made short work of all those crappie I left. Will take everything they don't eat with them. Oh well just gives me more motivation to do more ketchn.
