    Default Slow crappie day 7/21/21


    Catching crappie early today was like pulling teeth without Novocain. Painfully slow. I thought that Candi wasn’t going to catch any crappie but she got the skunk off her at our last stop of the morning.

    Bit, she did catch a nice LM bass 3.9 pounds that is going on our Foreman grill tonight. Blackened bass, hard to beat. I caught all the crappie early on with a pair of 12” black crappie in 30 feet of water. They regurgitated their swim bladders so I kept them.

    We hit the next spot and I caught another 11.5” crappie and a short. Candi drew a blank. Then to another spot and we both drew blanks. Finally the last spot was an offshore spot on the main river channel and we located a school of crappie that were eager, but most were short. We did get 3 keepers and that many more little ones before the cruisers from Waconda bay started making the way up river and bouncing us around so we just quit with 2 hours of actual fishing time.

    Lights Out, Screamer, Ghost Sparkle and Green lantern caught fish. The crappie were one foot off the 30 foot bottom and it took a lift drop technique to get a fish to bite.

    Nice largemouth. Y'all managed to make a meal out of them. I am hoping to spend some time under a bridge Saturday night and see if I can draw some to the lights. It will be good to get some time on the water.
    The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along
