Full moon bites.

Finally, my patience pay off. I had been watching them, crappie, closely for the past 2-3 weeks waiting for wide open bites before my season is ended. I still caught there here and there sometime big often time small. I caught them in 10-15 FOW or maybe 2 FOW but they all spread out, hardly find them in school. I used night light to help draw them in, it worked , I caught them quite a bit but no where near wide open bite that I hope for.
The past few day I saw the trend once the sun started going down, crappie would moves to shallow area, then I saw a bunch of small shad underwater move toward the shoreline as well. My fishing strategy was fishing deep water 8-10 FOW bunching jig along the bottom first, once the light almost gone moved to shallow swimming BG Baby shad or CB sliders parallel to shore 2-3 FOW. It worked, I caught more fish than others that fish the same area.
Last night, finally my day off and time for me to get on it. Everything ready, 2 setup, 2 bobbers one and make sure not to forget Slab Sauce, but I forgot the green light. I tested out with first rig (my new 7’3) got a bite back to back to back cast all 2-3’ off shore. I told myself “ IT CRAPPIE TIME” a few more crappie, then the dang leader broke off a long with a nice crappie and lighted bobbers behind its back. Switched to another rod, took about 10-15 mins to figure out depths, jig head and plastic. Once everything said and done GAME ON bite almost next to next cast. They all mostly the same size 9-10” only a few nice one. All catch and released don’t know how many probably 50 or so. I call it quit after the last crappie broke off with my jig from hook set, the last 30 or so caught on only one plastic and I never re-tie. All in all I had a blast, it has been quite awhile. I got home right before midnight so about 3 hours of nothing but fun and a little cold at the end (forgot my jacket ��).

Thanks for reading my long, happiness story haha haha.

Some of the catch the last few days.
