Congratulations Steve, Bill, and Jerry for ya'lls finish. Sounds like s tough few days fishing. Being able to adapt to the changing conditions is signs of the seasoned fisherman.
Brm what did y'all do to catch better fish the second day.
We moved. LolQuote:

We didn't fish Thursday because the wind pounded the bank we fished on. We started in that hole Friday morning and only caught one fish by noon because the water had been muddied by the wind on Thursday and even tho the fish were still there, we couldn't get them to bite. We hit our other spots, and by 1:00 we only had 3 fish. We decided to hail Marry and fish a spot we'd caught decent eaters to try and catch 7. At 1:30 we dropped our poles and caught 4 fish in about 15 minutes. Wound up catching two more for a weight of 10.25 on day one and 44th place.
Day two we decided to catch our 7 in that area and we started there. First fish we caught was 2.33. We had figured out that the fish had moved to the shallows with the cooler water temps from two cold fronts last week so we moved up from where we started and caught 12.76 on day two to move up to 14th place. We caught EVERY fish on a Minner Critter that Jerry had custom tied for this tourney. It was a prototype design that smoked em. Only had 6 Critters that color or it might have been different. We missed a Hawg with 20 minutes to go that would have put us in the top 7-8, but everyone misses a few. That's fishing. The Good LORD blessed us with those 4 keepers on day one to keep us in the hunt. HE blessed us again on day two with a pig with 45 minutes to go, and tried to give us another with 20 minutes to go. As stated, we missed that opportunity tho.
Good job men! Ya'll may be getting the hang of this crappie fishin.
Great story almost as good as being there watching ya
Congratulations to all of you who fished. Good stuff.
Chris
Congratulations for sure! Great job!
great job
Congratulations guys that is a great finish with that kind of competition.
Arkansasbowhunter I was there to watch Bill and Jerry. We fished that area all day Friday and saw them come in and whack em. Fished within sight of them all day Saturday too. We came in 17th and wondered how we might have done if they hadn't come in there and picked off of few more of those 2 lb'ers we were after. Bill and Jerry were great guys to meet and hope to run into them on the water again sometime. Great job guys.
