Bandit Morning Bite getting Getting Hot On Greers

[CrappiePro]

After fishing with CastandBlast Monday evening and getting a wealth of Info on the fine art of trolling Bandits. I keep telling him he needs to start Guideing Went Tues morning with my Daughter and a buddy to Greers. On the water at Daylight. I then was able to guide my Buddy and Daughter on a trip to the Choctaw area. We were trolling over tree tops in 50 foot of water that topped off at about a depth of 15 foot we began to run those little bandits right into the tops and caught 16 nice crappie and four nice channels THATS RIGHT four channels on bandits, two of which hit around three or four pounds. I have fished a long time and never caught four cats on a plastic crank bait before LOL. Anyway the bite was very good until about 11:00 Am then tapered off. At about 2:00 we were done due to bad storms. I think we would have had a banner day if we could have kept fishing but weather was to bad and we had to leave. This being my only second trip at trolling bandits not to shabby. Natural colors seemed to be best TN shad color and grape back color seemed best. You really needed a depth finder to find the tops and hit em with the bandits. Right Tory?:D Nice to see my daughter with her first Bandit crappie a 14 incher the one I am holding is 15 3/4 inches. Let me tell ya CastNBlast is a real PRO trolling bandits, So make sure you book him soon. Thanks for putting me on em agian Tory, and allowing me to have a heck of a day with my daughter. I owe ya man. God Bless CP...

That's a great time you folks had fer sur.

I'm gonna have to find me some new water on Ouachita. The west end of the lake just isnt producing when I troll the bandits. I reckon I'll have to move to mid-lake areas and start putting in at Crystal Springs or Brady Mountain. You are having too much fun, ma man!!

Thanks for sharing.

Nice catch, those Catfish look like Blues to me. The small Blues are better eating than Channels too.

You know Nimrod I think your right, they are Blues, thax for pointing that out. I was hoping that one would be a walleye they sure have a familiar feel reeling them in LOL. CP

Good job. My wife is wondering why I have all of this fishing stuff arriving at the house. I am stocking up on crankbaits and have to have at least two of everything.
I got a chuckle out of seeing the bling your daughter wore to the lake. I have to wait on my wife to find the perfect pair of ear rings and matching purse when she goes with me. Last weekend, the toon boat submarined through some wakes instead of going over them. It filled her purse full. Of course it was my fault. I never have understood why it is necassary to wear ear rings and take a purse out in the boat.
