Returning to the Brook

[Ketchn]

Many would tend to think since it's a 10 minute drive , the "Brook" would be my baby ...ie .....Home lake ....
Full of timber and white crappie, black crappie and mohawks too , and for sure a sling festival if you know the lake
But it saddens me to say the new wore off and I have not been there in several years ...
Fast forward to last night and the text says hey you wanna hit the "Brook" tomorrow ?
Wife started asking questions and I thought careful with your answers mister ....
Said we are going to the "Brook" tomorrow to ketch a few !
She didn't protest very much , but the threshold thing became a bit of a nuisance
Off I went at 6 to meet at 630 , he wanted launch on the farthest point from me . We loaded up at about 7 and used his SI and LS and our general knowledge of the water body and proceeded to play let's ketch them...
the particulars that I found interesting that with no thermocline and really deep water , NO crappie were in them deep waters ....!
All the best spots were in 15 or shallower for the most part and most fish were down on the trees about 2/3 of the way down .
Bites were odd and reminded me of the back when over there , whatever your desires in a bite is what the next drop will likely be ....
We found fish all over piles and trees and on lots of places there were hundreds of unders all stacked around stuff .
Had to work for a decent one and keep moving , but it was pretty nice and we left before lunch . too hot to keep going ....the bite was still good ...
thats my story and I am stickin it to em ...
KABOOM
p. pearl was the color early and after 9 am ....HOT pink was the ticket ...keep in mind you use whatever makes you happy , it is just something we both noticed when I dropped the first one ...fyi
