Shots Were Fired
No no, not what that Pantastic dude did down the way earlier in the week, all firearms were left at home. The shots I am talking about were at docks, with a plastic bait and a nice piece of graphite. I had a free afternoon on Thursday, all work from home was done, so I hitched up the ride and hit the water. Starting with a floater, I scored a nice male Black Crappie on a shallow stick up, with water temps at 65, I think I knew what was going on, bow chicka wow wow!

Bait of choice was Mr. Garlands Baby Shad, and Slab Sauce was used. I really like the new packaging, dropper style tip is awesome, thanks Slab. Anyway, the dock shooting discovery was just a fluke, I saw some on this dock on the electronics as I was passing by, turned a gave the bait a quick pitch under the shade and Thump.. it was on.

Now my dock shooting rod was in the box, but I just used what was in my hand and it got the job done.

Found a few other docks with some fish that wanted to play, and a limit was soon had. Livewell and cleaning station highlight pictures.

I am not a big dock shooter, and do not think I have ever caught any the first week of April doing this, but I did enjoy the Thump. Social Distancing rules were followed at the ramp, I did not even come close to anyone, and these fish will become food for a family of four.
