A pleasant surprise!:Report*
I dragged myself out of bed yesterday to get out fishing on Jordan. When I got there I stuck to the places that I thought would have some fish, and did have some over the past few weeks, but those apparently just turned into nurseries because they were all about 6" or less. I wasn't doing well. I passed by a bass guy, who pointed me to a small cove. He said he had seen a few others the day before doing well. That was a really nice guy.
I I paddled over to the cove and dropped two rods for crappie and one with chx liver for any random catfish coming by. From 0745 - 1030, I had caught 55 crappie total of various sizes! It was amazing! At about 10 I finally put away the second crappie rod because I couldn't handle both. It was non stop!! Anyways... I left about 1300 or so, with 83 fish caught, 15 crappie (11" or better), 1 cat, and 2 white Perch (mostly because they wouldn't leave me alone and I want to see how they taste).
By by far the best day I've ever had with crappie, and my first cat from a kayak. Which is kind of like having a trolling motor. Haha.

Thank you, Sir. (Lt? Officer?)
It was by far my best day ever, and a blast in the kayak!
Now that I have some freezer food, I kind of want to start playing with bigger fish for fun. I may have to start looking for more cats, etc.

It's actually just my initials. I never even thought about the potential to imply ranking until someone else on the forum asked the same thing.Originally Posted by MNKK
As to larger fish, the stripers are working their way up the roanoke as we speak!

Great report, glad you got on them.When I was a teen I had a 1 man rubber raft that I fished from it was fun hooking a fish that would take you for a ride. Hook something like a cat and you were shooting across the lake.Good memories

Don't forget the wooden jonboat you built from scratch!
