This afternoon I made a quick trip on the Calcasieu River. I caught 1 black crappie and 2 brim. I caught it in 5 fow at 18in. with a black feather jig. I caught it on an over cast at a lay down. It took the jig 10ft from the tree as soon as it hit the water. I will take luck over skill any day...lol. I tried deep, shallow, cork, no cork, up next to the bank, and on the drop off. I just could not locate them. The water had about 2 ft of visibility at 62 degrees. I ran into "fishing nut" out there and he was bass fishing. He had one in the live well and missed a few. The skeeters got bad an hour before dark. The first thing I did when I got home was put my Thermal cell and a can of deep woods in my boat bag. Tomorrow I am going to Lacassine to see if they are up next to the trees yet. It sure was nice to be back on the water.
