Thread: Afternoon fishing success?

He said he got sidetracked by a bunch of crappie and caught two dozen on some small bass worms because he dind't have any crappie gear. I saw where he was fishing, he told me that was the spot and how deep he found them. I was about a mile off the X today.
He did say Livescope is absolutely the ticket for crappie fishing. We discussed some techniques and he gave me some pointers about what he had learned using Livescope and the fish's reaction to lures.
So catching was hard for me today, but I did learn something. I really need to move around and explore more rather than depending on a very few old reliable spots.

I'm going to have to do the same on my usual go-to lake. Now all I'll have to do is convince my fishing partner we need to explore new areas.

26 crappie and 2 bluegill at 3 foot deep in 12 foot of water between 2 and 3 pm yesterday say yes sir ....go do it ...
and if they aint biting the good news is the bird show , never seen so many fish eating birds as of yesterday on one lake .

For you Grainraiser. These work well to keep your hand warm during the colder days. One in each pocket and you're good to go. No gloves needed.
