The Hunt Is On!
The hunt for crappie, that is!!
Seems like all the fish have moved away from all of Bill's spots so I had to go find one of my own!!
Went yesterday before dark and it was dismal. Although I *did* find an old haunt that looks like they put in a couple cribs or stake beds, and marked it with a buoy? Fish on it, but none interested. Shoulda taken a picture with my livescope. Kinda cool to see that on Smithville. Anyway...three dinks on jigs and all the others were fussy eaters and didn't want what I was offering.
This morning I served meat. Got a dozen minnows from the marina and checked out a few more of Bill's places but no joy. Moved around the corner and picked up one good one and thought, "Here we go!!"
But then it was more of the disinterested fish. Lots of follows. A few were smart enough to bite the tail and get my minnow.
Eventually I did manage 6, with a few being decent, and a couple being barely 9.
Rain just spit on me all morning, and just when I was taking out, it came down in earnest for the drive home. Then the sun came out just in time for me to clean 'em.
Putting the rods up for at least a week. Maybe more?? So...I imagine I'll need to go hunting again when I get back cuz...I'm sure they won't still be where I left them!

My fish are trained in my spots to only be available to the most skilled fishermenOriginally Posted by ripnlips
Might as well hit Bill's spots he does not appear to be using them.
Actually I’m really hunting, well as I call it now, sitting in a tree with my bow watching animals.
Nite job Joe!

Despite the crappy rainy weather you managed to find enough for a nice meal. For me that's a successful trip.

Nice job Joe! I went out last week to make sure my water pump was working, week prior didn’t make it past the no wake buoys at W and noticed the pump guit, all good now. Fished a couple hours, kinda same deal, found some fish but the interest was low. Think I might give it a try Wednesday, maybe get some minners, dunno.

I think by size you did really well. Like the pic.
