Thread: Well I did it CDC Members[emoji106][emoji107]

Well the way I see it is the good lord let you wake up and go fishing. Then far as I’m concerned you got more then a limit the fish are just a bonus. A lot of folks didn’t have a chance to wake up. So if you enjoyed the picture the good lord painted for you that day you had a awesome day.

Agreed. Every day above ground is a good day.

Sounds like a good trip. No skunk in your boat IMHO.

Congratulations buddy, sounds like a “cool” trip!

Congrats, I'd say you had a good day. But are you convinced that you don't have to have minnows?

S10CHEVY,
Negative,
In my narrow minded brain I believe I could have caught more fish pushing minnows or pulling jigs.
My don’t like change OCD type bucket head thinks that way.
My primary lake is so pressured and has so many crappie(shorts just shy of 10 inch limit) that I tell myself a lot “I’m not going back there” but because it is only 45 minutes to the water I keep going over and over and over.
My best days on that lake were the end of summer ( night trips) 2 nights I had 12 keepers and 1 night 14.
The plus side is that it is a great place to learn Livescope. Every place you look is full of crappie.
I will have to add that I enjoy catching the fish and feeling the thump more than allowing the rod to catch the fish and just picking it up while pushing minnows.
Sorry for the long winded answer

That thump is hard to beat

Not, a long winded response. But you do now know, that if you either run out of minnows, or they are not available, you can still catch fish without them. How much do you play with different sizes and types of plastic baits? What made me change, was when running out of minnows, and then being forced to try alternate things.
