A pleasant surprise!

I dragged myself out of bed yesterday to get out fishing on Jordan. When I got there I stuck to the places that I thought would have some fish, and did have some over the past few weeks, but those apparently just turned into nurseries because they were all about 6" or less. I wasn't doing well. I passed by a bass guy, who pointed me to a small cove. He said he had seen a few others the day before doing well. That was a really nice guy.

I paddled over to the cove and dropped two rods for crappie and one with chx liver for any random catfish coming by. From 7:45 to 10:30 I had caught 55 crappie total of various sizes! It was amazing! At about 10 I finally put away the second crappie rod because I couldn't handle both. It was non stop!! Anyways... I left about 1300 or so, with 83 fish caught, 15 crappie (11" or better), 1 cat, and 2 white Perch (mostly because they wouldn't leave me alone and I want to see how they taste).

By by far the best day I've ever had with crappie, and my first cat from a kayak. Which is kind of like having a trolling motor. Haha.

Nice work! How do you like the kayak? Jackson Coosa isn't it? I just got one myself.

Being that it is my first Kayak, I like it a lot. I don't have much to compare it to, but It does everything I want, and it is really comfortable! I've sat in it for a few 8 hour days already and I can't complain.

That's a great haul! I have yet to have that good of a fishing trip on my kayak, and I've been kayak fishing for a couple of years now. Good job!
