    Default Found a few in the wind


    Took my 4 year old and 9 year old to Old Hickory today. Wind advisory so I scouted online and found the most protected creek arm launch I could for the prevailing wind today. It was still brutal windy, but I would call the plan a success because we were still able to fish. We launched out of Davis Corner launch near Laguardo. Found some crappie on woody cover in 4-5 fow and only in the shade. Could fish the same cover in full-sun and no bites. Only one keeper though, an 11 inch black-nose crappie. All caught on white squiggle tails; there seemed to be a definite preference for that bait. 1/32 oz jig head. Didn't get a single pic between managing the two younguns and windsurfing I had my hands full just staying safe and keeping them out of the trees.

    Just glad to get the skunk out of my boat for 2020!
    no matter what I'm doing, I've got hunting or fishing on my mind...
