Thread: 600 is ALOT of fishing

Yes sir ladies and gents that is how many private boat slips my friend and I had ALL to ourselves yesterday !
It was like a crappie dock ketchn fellas dream come true I tell ya . Not a soul there except us and crappie in every darn boat slip and they was the good ole large slab version types .
I got there at 9 and left at noon and didn't keep any fish . The bite was on when I got there and they were still on when I left .
Now mind you I couldn't possibly hit all them slips as I aint that fast no more at 62 , but I did make it up to 586 …..
All funning around it was a mighty fine home coming to lake I have not visited in around 40 years . I used to just about live on that lake in my late teens and early twenties and once again she reminded me of what a fabulous fishery she was and still is .
The fish were around 16 to 18 foot deep in water depths ranging from around a little over 20 foot deep out to about 30 foot deep . Most of the fish preferred the standard winter dead stick and the majority hit it like they meant it .
We easily managed well over a hundred crappie and I got my line broke twice .I used lots of different baits and the ribbon tail firecracker one on a pink 1/32 was by far the most productive of the 8 or 10 different styles and colors I dropped .
I released my fish and he kept about 15 and it was a super pretty mild weather day . I hope to visit there soon again but to be sure the traffic is a bear going over there through the dfw metromess , none the less it was worth 2 hours of drive to ketch for 3 hours for sure.
Thanks my friend for the invite and hope to visit you again soon if possible .
On a side note I want to apologize to EZ for two timing him as I didn't get to go Wednesday due to a work load that's unimaginable and actually had to use the I have an appointment in the morning excuse at work and I wont be in until after lunch to get some time to ease my pain of not ketchn enough crappie lately
and in the end …….
KABOOM is the word yawl

Sure hope your boss doesn't come to Crappie.com.
