Thread: White capping crappie with Candi 4/27/21

I had to take my wife, Wanda for an appointment this morning, so Candi and I didn’t get out until 1 pm or so and quit just after three.

Unfortunately, the wind was blowing pretty hard and white capping the main river, so we didn’t do as well as we would normally, although I caught a keeper on the first drop down with my jig. We fished there for a few moments more but no more bites so we hit a couple more spots.



Candi did manage to land a slab in that very windy spot, but she had her heart broken when a huge bass ate her jig, came to the surface with its grapefruit sized mouth open, and spit the jig back in her face as I was reaching for the net. She will have dreams tonight of that bass.

That is it for now. It appears that the crappie are in transition back to deeper spots. I can’t wait until they all get back home. Offshore deep structure is my first love when it comes to crappie fishing.

Good catch in the wind you two. Beating the banks for Bluegill up here now, my favorite eating fish!
