A pleasant surprise!:Report*

[MNKK]

I dragged myself out of bed yesterday to get out fishing on Jordan. When I got there I stuck to the places that I thought would have some fish, and did have some over the past few weeks, but those apparently just turned into nurseries because they were all about 6" or less. I wasn't doing well. I passed by a bass guy, who pointed me to a small cove. He said he had seen a few others the day before doing well. That was a really nice guy.

I I paddled over to the cove and dropped two rods for crappie and one with chx liver for any random catfish coming by. From 0745 - 1030, I had caught 55 crappie total of various sizes! It was amazing! At about 10 I finally put away the second crappie rod because I couldn't handle both. It was non stop!! Anyways... I left about 1300 or so, with 83 fish caught, 15 crappie (11" or better), 1 cat, and 2 white Perch (mostly because they wouldn't leave me alone and I want to see how they taste).

By by far the best day I've ever had with crappie, and my first cat from a kayak. Which is kind of like having a trolling motor. Haha.
