Timing is the key

[Ketchn]

Knowing where to drop your jig and when to be there is really important . Some spots have a window that is real narrow and a week early or a week late and you missed it .
Now mind you this , many spots I like , I visit them often if I think, they could be near a peak moment .
I have been seeing it coming for about 2 weeks , one of those SO FAR past legendary events in the making , that I have found in that same spot only once before .
That visit produced a herd of nice crappie at a pace most can't imagine .
Fast forward to Friday , 10 31 25 , walked up , peaceful calm and not terribly warm .
Dropped my jig and immediately began to HAMMER !
Not just nice fish this time , BIG fish ! FAST as you could get your jig back down there .
Stayed past my normal lunch visit time about 30 minutes more .....
It's Terribly difficult to walk away from something of this type of magnitude .
Took well over 100 pictures and easily managed at least 5 limits of BIG slabs in 90 minutes !
I of course am fully aware of them that say it ain't so and never happened, but this is NOT any form of exaggeration,
drop jig to the bottom , raise it about 5 inches and wait about 5 to 10 seconds ....
no jigging , no raising it , just hold it still ....and then...
KABOOM till you get tired of it ....
one really large fish broke me off and lost one or 2 maybe ....
the spawn is diddly compared to a fall bite when the bigs are stacked up like this ...
I imagine a livescoper would have fell right out of the boat if they peeked under that dock at high noon.
I released all the fish and went back a bit late to my work ....
JUST WOW for sure , not sure if I can top that visit , not sure if I have ever slung that many BIG crappie that fast ....
just saying
the smalls ran over a pound and some of the bigs up over 1.75 ....
yet again ....JUST WOW !
my thumb as actually bleeding btw ....
