I knew today wasn't a good fishing day so I ran alittle late getting to the lake,I also knew I had the vantage if the hit was light...on the lake at 8.45.
I know of a honey hole with pan size crappie,game plan was pick one color and stay with it all day.Picked 6 colors for the test,throwed first color to the honey hole thump pan size crappie,each color I made 4 cast to see which was the best.Out of the 6 colors two where just niddle niddle niddle all the way to the boat but 4 colors where thumpers lol.Okay game plan was set to use one rod and one color lure all day,as I turned the trolling motor on to spin around to leave the honey hole I seen another boat.Dam those new outboard motors can sneak up on a feller lol,he said he started fishing at daylight and had 3 small bass.After we talked about his new motor he said he hadn't caught any bream or crappie but noticed I was catching something.He said he loved pan size crappie and would love to have a mess.We caught 20 pan size out of dat honey hole before he said that was enough.Anyway I enjoyed the day and came home with a nice cooler of crappie,bream and bass.I would not have caught 1/2 as much as did if it not been for useing braid.I also bendt my hook a little to one side of the jig head to help with the lite hits,seemed to work better then running true with the jig head.
I cann't under stand why the honey hole is aways good nomatter if you cann't catch another fish in the whole lake,its aways hot with pan size.

The two braids I mentioned above both throw off the reel good and line twist does not seem to be a problem.Going to haveta find something to cut it with besides my clippers for a clearer cut.Plus I did not have to retie not one time and with cat gut I would had to retie several times today.
