the little little little show
The last week or 3 have been not my best , a bunch of things have managed to keep me from pitching jigs . when i did make it out last week for a boat ride it was tough . the rivers are running again and the bank bite for crappie is non existent here . then the few docks i tried didnt give up much either . just not much real interesting to post up about crappie wise for sure .
Anyway i hollered at my after work bud and told him on wednesday i might have a tiny "little" window to try them . I also told him i have a tiny "little" amount of gas in the boat and not even time to refuel . And the of course the good news that i had a tiny "little" boat that was charged up and ready for an adventure if he wanted to try them .
So here we go , we will get there about 6pm ....we will have a "little" window before its dark . i tell him we might get in 2 hours if we dont move to slowly . i figured by 8 pm it would be pretty dark . So we get there and there IT IS ...the local boys bass tourney is about to begin at 6 pm ....boats lined up like a boat show in front of us .....:banghead
i told them boys really nicely we dint care about bass none and was only after a few crappie . Asked if we might squeeze in front a them for a quick launch , well they looked at me like i was crazy and said brother it is first come first served . So we got in line and waited our turn and i told him if there is even a tiny bit of room between them boys just back on down the ramp and smile at them ....LOL
well i motored thru the line up real slow and they looked at me like i was crazy and just when i got a bit past em i said no worries fellas we wont try to ketch none a yawls bass i promise and hit the throttle to full and flew out of there like a bird ...rolled up to a spot i told my bud was most likely a do or die place because of the the time constraints and prepared for the onslaught of WAKES that was about to hit us when they came by .......:Rofl
first drop to the last we slammed the living fire out the crappie yawl ....it was like some sort of ridiculous thing , couldnt drop a bait in the water without a bite i swear . we hammered lips so bad it wasnt even funny . both of us had sand paper thumbs when we left .rippin em 2 at a time for an hour and half at that spot as fast as we cloud get it back in the water . left when it was kinda low light and hit the bridge for a few minutes by the boat ramp and found the EXACT same scenario .....WOW what a trip
so there you have it yawl ....a little time, a little gas and a little boat ....and a great BIG KABOOM from the outlaw Ketch Whales my friends ....all fish were released and the number of fish we managed is just not to be believed....
probably the best 2 hour trip ever of my life on crappie yawl :cheers2
