Thread: I fooled the crappie on 4-1-2014

I couldn't take it yesterday, left work about 1:30, and had a wet jig by 3:30. Wind was not too bad, and lake ws about a foot higher than the weekend. There were boats everywhere, so I started off in the wind to stay away from the boats. I drifted along and didn't get a bite for almost an hour. Then I found a tree in 8 fow, along with 3 fish 14"-16" in under 5 minutes. I had found THE SPOT, or so I thought... Fished THE SPOT for another 10 minutes without another bite. Decided t leave it and go shallow, nothing there. Start back to THE SPOT, and this Jack Wagon fires up his motor to jump in front of me, and gets THE SPOT. I was nice enough to offer some advice as to not fish the brush and move bobber to 4' deep and throw out the other side of the boat. I hope he caught a few.

I went to the other side of the lake for my last 1.5 hrs of fishing, and no one was in there, and no wind either. I were confused. I had caught a few in there on Saturday pm. I found the pattern the same in this area the exact same as Saturday, 4 fow, 1 foot deep, 1/16 oz grey head, red sickle hook, and blue and white Joker. I caught some fish jigging, I caught fish slow trolling, and I noticed fish hitting the surface, so I started casting (with a 12' jig pole) and slow reeling it back, and sure nuff, they hit that also.

I ended up with 15 fish, none under 10", except for the 2 (which I didn't count) that were 8.5". We had a problem with hook removal, and I couldn't see putting them back just to die.



A couple from Saturday, same spot

Maybe we can go hit that spot one day. Good job LM
