Take your long rod and walk up the Waki or Rock. I've seen guys pack their catch out in a game vest when the walk was long. Boat control is critical when catching crappies

Good idea crappiedoc, on windy days, there will be a good place to fish.

Heck with the rivers, find a good break out of the wind and work it, the crappie will be there hugging the bottom

I was wondering if it was time to hit them rocky breaks. Strolling with some twisters will put fish in the boat this time of year.

Ah c'mon fD, I know you don't like the rivers and creeks much, but brother there's gold in them there creeks/rivers. Those rivers are low and clear, got them fish "holed" up and kinda easy to find and pattern right now. Those windy, chilly days can wear on a man's soul, I'm a cable steer guy, sometimes flying the helicopter can be tough. Whereas, holding that 10' or 12' rod out there dippin the bank and brush can find a guy well rewarded. Interesting thing is, I do pretty good on nice crappies in a foot of water and less this time of year, holding on a stick or branch even. Sometimes, even more or have a little string of spots and typewriter the bank back and forth. Gas is much cheaper too. Anyway, I hope you all find some fish

^^I did just this yesterday afternoon again with my neighbor, POP, it blew his mind. He kept wanting to fish deeper, and I started catching them in 1' of water. Sometimes under a 6" float, occasionally I would set it down a bit deeper. We kept half a bucket of friers, just that tasty, goodness size, there were a few maybe 12", but they were all thick in the back.

Crappiedoc,

Were in a boat or just walking the bank? Never been up the river if you were in a boat how far up do you go?

I'm on foot, those first trips are for the experience, but I promise they'll payout better than any lottery.
