Glad you got out brother. Our last trip they were deep as well. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
The past few weeks has been tough as far as crappie fishing goes and gathering from everyone I have spoken to, most are having the same results. Regardless if I am catching or not I am going to go while having time off from work so long as rain is not falling or unbearable winds are not a blowing. Well come to think of it I've actually been out in the wind a time or two but you know. Got my lazy butt out of bed this Christmas Eve and figured I could fish at least a few hours before invited guest began to arrive for this evenings feast. I caught a few crappie on my last outing in a deep basin area and wanted to investigate this area further. There is some scattered debris around this 30 ft bottom so I fished a modified 2 1/2" plastic bait on a 1/4 oz jig. This one was a half inch shorter than the 3 inch bait I used the last time with some of the fat taken off. The thinner version appeared to be more effective but only time will tell for sure. I caught bass, white bass, and I think I recall 10 crappie over the next 3 hours before the wind got up and pushed me off the lake. I'm going to try this again in a day or so and preferably get up earlier next time before the winds start to blow.
Everyone have a Merry Christmas!
