The last couple of months I have been fishing between noon and 6 pm. I would catch 2 or 3 most days but the last couple of trips after the cold snap I had skunks. A friend of mine told me it was a late bite now, that he had caught over 20 Tuesday night, with the biggest being 1.34 pounds. He said the bite was between 7 pm-2 am.
So I decided to stay later to see if I had better luck. Now mind you, I was not going to stay till 2 am but I was going to test it. Between 2 pm till 6 pm I only caught 1 small crappie. But at 6:30 they started coming up from the bottom to circle the jig but did not bite at first.
Then they starting bitting. By 9 pm I had caught 8 more. Since I was tired and it had turned colder I went home. My friend told me I was still leaving too early as the strongest bite was between 11 pm and 2 am. I told him I would his word on that.
The nice thing about it was that several of the crappie were starting to show color.
Now I realize that 8 more crappie in two hours is nothing to brag about until you compare it to the 2-3 I have been catching the last two months in 6-8 hours of fishing. And it was definitely better than the two skunks I had on my last two trips.
the worm has turned Ez ....be ready for some crazy to come visit ya soon ....
this next week will be GOOD is my thoughts
sum kawl me tha outlaw ketchn whales
They will sit on the bottom and I think they do so more than the belief a catfish does..... But then it's a crappie and the next hour they will be suspended in ? ft of water bout half way down.....
It's what's fun about fishing for these fish...... The catchn can be tough.....
