Thread: Barrow pit fishing (pics)

With the Mississippi river getting so high this year, it replenished a lot of the borrow pits inside the levee. It has been several years since some have had the river in it. I tried one that I haven't fished since I started crappie fishing, with a little success. The river is still in it, but will be out in the next day or two. Fixed up a 12 ft. boat for putting in these small lakes, that I can't get my bigger boat into. I fished Sat. and today, the crappie were'nt real big but the bream that hit the jig were huge.


Saturday's catch.






The borrow pit boat.




Today's catch.



Had a lot of fun, but it's still tough loading and unloading the boat by myself, and a 4-wheel drive it a must.
