Spent the weekend at Melvern for one last camping trip before I had to winterize the camper. I have been reading about all this "slinging plastic" so I thought I would give it a try this weekend. Spent 5 hours Sat morning slinging plastic anywhere from 2 ft to 30 ft, rocks, points, flats, coves, you name it, and caught a big fat ZERO!! Finally got my senses back and started fishing minnows over the piles. Caught somewhere north of 75 crappie and kept 22, nothing less than 11 inches, biggest was 14 inches or a shade over. We decided to give trolling a shot on the way back in and caught 8 really nice white bass.
One of these days I will learn,,,, minnows are the only way to go!
