Do you all ever????
Get to the point that you are so frustrated you just want to quit?
I had one of those weekends were I could not catch more than a couple of fish ... Boats all around me bringing them in right and left.... I mean 50 fish caught in their boat to 2 in mine...
Just don't get it... using the minnow just like them. Same depth and rigging. Fishing rip rap and boats on both sides are pulling them in while I am sitting there baking in the sun like a lobster....
First time in my life that I thought about just selling all the fishing equipment/boat and calling it quits...
I can usually always manage to catch a few, but I can't ever seem to hit the "Fishing Lottery" ... It would be nice to do it one time in my life....
What do you guys do when that happens? Is there a secret to this madness?
VERY FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!!!!

I know the feeling
Ive been out there and experienced the same thing, but I've also been in the boat that was wearing em out too. There could be a lot of different reasons like a little underwater structure that the fish were holding too, also I have seen times where I wasn't catching anything using just minnows on a gold hook (thats bout all I drift with...I'll throw a jig while I'm doing it, but as far as drifting goes minnows don't come in but one color :)) and the ppl that were catching had jigs tipped with minnows...It's frustrating, but I guess that's why they call it fishing and not catching.

YES!! I was that way about a month ago. Got all this crappie equipment, boat, hand made jigs & everything else. I went out 5-7 times and nothing, final the spawn came I I'm catching them. I'm not catching 50+ like I see but that is just from not have as much knwledge of the lake.
Keep casting, it does happen.

That's a good one Cane Pole....
Couldn't have been more fitting.... Just needed a boat on either side on top of the fish...
Just one of those days...
