Went out last night again after 5pm and had a blast....The "Professionals" were out telling everyone what color and baits to use...one gentleman and his buddy told me I would never catch any Crappie with that Big a Bait and that color (Ghost Rainbow), so after a couple twelves, a couple fourteens, and a fifteen, they started talking about how the Big Crappie don't taste as good as the ones they were catching.
So, me being in a Great Mood, decided to help them lower their live bait bill during the spawn time pattern...so I cut a strip of white plastic from a coffee cup lid and a larger strip from a sandwich bag and put them on my jig...and I out caught both of them, pissed them off, and then even returned their Favorite eating small fish, that I was catching, into to the lake!
They became agitated because I didn't give them the fish....and I proceeded to tell them the story of "teaching a man to fish"!
I left for a more peaceful environment and later took home my 30 over 12", with a 16 kicker! Caught over 100 in less than 3 hours...my clicker died after hour 2 at 98 fish!
