Two weekends in a row I have had the honor of taking the two most important men in my life crappie fishing. Last weekend with my FIL was a true blessing. Good time and plenty of fish. Took my dad up Friday afternoon, had a great meal of grilled Boudin and hit the lake early this morning. The wind was bad at sunup and got worse all day. Feeling/watching for a light crappie bite is difficult in gusty winds. Fish were not biting where they did last weekend but we moved around and with help from the fish finder we found a submerged tree top in 8' of water that had plenty of fish. whew! Left them biting at 4pm. Cleaned 31. I kept count and we threw back 16, 8 and 10"ers. Fished minnows, and jigs. They liked the minnows best this trip. Glad I had them
Taking a kid fishing is great but I say take your dad fishing! these last two trips have been a true blessing for this kid!
