Thread: The ever so dusty trail episode

Down it I went , traveled a while , wildlife was abundant , large crappie not so much .
Scenery was really nice and the food was past stupid good a mile or 2 as well .
fish had the feel of ice and the north wind was a howling as the front rolled in .
you would think they would have been in the deep water in a smaller pond , but not was the case .
only one decent fish in the mix and the rest were assorted sunfish and small black crappie .
wanted it moving along pretty fast for winter fish ,was pretty strange to say the least .
we couldn't ketch diddly till i got desperate and put a float on and went shallow .
the more it sat still the less it got bit , if it was getting drug along pretty good they would chase it down !
watched several follow it right to the shore ?
were holding around some sort of water vegetation in around 4 to 5 foot or less of water .
wish we had some of the big fish that live there to show off , but it was not in the cards .
wind laid down some the longer we stayed and we hit it from 1 to 3 pm .
the good news was we did get to ketch quite a few .
thanks for riding along with us , good times for sure .
and ......
KABOOM is still the word
