Thread: Bobby Garland bait contest

Yesterday was one of those slow days where not many bites but a few good ones . Moved around alot looking for fish instead of hammering the few I located . Found more spots without fish than ones that did .
Fished another area on Saturday and caught lots of fish but most were very small . This fall transition can be tough till the Crappie settle on a pattern . Here lately Nimrod has been much slower for most .

I caught these dipping brush on purple / chart umbrellas tubes on 1/8 oz heads . All the good fish were tight to wood .But rather keep 8 good ones 11 to 15'' than a limit of short fish anytime . Completely different pattern last Saturday were they were suspended shallow in open water but mostly dinks .
I had quit for a few days to run nets and could not fish here but everyone said it is slow . Water still in the low 70's and fish started die'n in deeper nets . Decided to pull em for a few days and try Crappie fishing awhile .
