I soon realized that we were fishing the wronge type of areas today.

The bite changes from day to day , just because there in one location today don't mean they'll be there tomorrow, don't spend to much time doing the same thing if it isn't productive , change it up , " go into search mode " is what I like to call it!!!!

Thanks for the advice Greg! You are not the first person to tell me that. I guess that I am stubborn and haven't leaned that lesson yet. One of these days...

Keep Grinding it out, and your dayz will come.

If you REALLY wanna do something neat, go 'radio collar' several of the dadgum things. I can't figure out where they run off to? (That's "offta" for some of us). Seriously, you can fish a brush pile and do great.........then it stops. Folks say "they stopped biting". I doubt it. I think they moved off. Later they come back.

Same thing for days. Some days they are on X brushpile, next day they aren't, then they are.....

I'd give a pinky, maybe even one of my own, to know for a fact where they go over a week or month's time.

What he said! can't you put some gps collars on a few and post some realtime coordinates??!!

Daddy Rat,

We stocked 32,250 yearling black crappie into Mallard Lake on 11/12/13. We have requested more to be stocked this year.
