Yesterday me and a friend hit the water for the first time this year. I don't often get the chance to get out and fish. But yesterday was the day...and boy was I excited! It was rather windy and the water was choppy to say the least, but when you only get to go every once in a while, you go. I do not actually have a fishing boat but rather I fish from a Jackson Kayak. I am fairly new to crappie fishing w/ only actually catching 2-3 in my lifetime. All that being said, I do not have a depth finder on my kayak yet so finding structure and the like has proven to be quite difficult. So I did what someone suggested me to do. I found a chunk rock bank and fished it up and down w/ minnows and a bobber. Depth was set at about 3 ft on my bobber. Got the line in the water and the bobber disappeared! Fish on! I was elated! Got the fish to the boat and it was a good size red eye bass. Thing gave up a fight. Don't get me wrong, it was a fish none the less but not the one that I had set out for. Continued fishing using the same method and same thing, fish on. This time it was a bluegill. Then again caught another one as I was heading back in. I got to the water about 3 pm and gave in to the wind around 630 pm. Does any one have any suggestions as to how to locate the fish without a depth finder? I have spoken to a couple of guys and they say the spawn is close, real close. Water temps are around 59 degrees. Any tips for catching some slabs would be greatly appreciated.
