    Default Lake Hickory 4/12


    It was a tuff day to find em today but did manage to get a mess to go with the other ones to make a good crappie supper Got on the water at sunrise and did not come off till 6 pm. Only had 1 crappie and a catfish for the wife at 3pm. I was just about ready to let them go and call it a day, then I spotted a cardinal bird, and my grandmother told me when I was little feller to make a wish when you saw one. I wished for a mess of crappie, and shortly there after I found 5 more slabs to go with my lonely crappie. Water temps were from 62-68, found all fish in shallows and in murky water, caught on jigs. I learned today not to give up, make a wish, and keep on, it might just come true!!!!!
    Difference between day and night: Day= one rod, one jig/Night= Many rods & a bucket full of minners

    The number one thing any fisherman can have in his "tacklebox" is persistence. You had it today and got some fillets for your efforts. Nice job!

    I got on the water at daylight but all I could find was throwbacks tried brush,docks,deep,shallow,minnows,jigs an by 11:30 I was totally worn out,But after seven weeks of waiting it was great to just be on the water again. Snapped the tip off my favorite dock shooting rod but that's how it goes when your fishing
