Crappie Masters

Oh and to add to it all. This was my first time fishing on Grenada, first time fishing a classic, I never had fished with this many boats before. It was also my first year fishing crappie masters to. I got on here and read and paid attention to what so many people said on here. The tips were all here it was just putting it all together. The speed at 1mph the tuff bite looking for the reaction bite. Everyone here is a great tool to help make everyone better its just putting it all together. I have to thank everyone for taking the time to post or write something because if you didn't I wouldn't know a thing.

A lot of different variables have to fall into place in order for things to turn out well in a competition of this level. I consider luck to be just one of those variables. Even a tiny drop of bad luck can throw things into a kilter. We caught our two biggest fish on day two very early in the morning. Despite all our efforts they died before we could weigh them early and that cost us 25 places. Some other teams had the same luck.

We culled fish the first day and had ten on the second day. Most of the time we fished two to four foot of water. We used Capps and Coleman rigs in 1/2 oz bottom with the biggest minnow I could find and the top with a lft baby shad or Bobby garland dockt-r

Awesome report Jim! Did you have a lot of cover or timber in that shallow water?

The only thing that was there was this concoction that was made of rebar that put a nice scratch in my boat. It was a sand mud mix on the flat with a drop on the edge that went down to about eight foot of water. All in the flat were ripples on the bottom. As you got closer to the bank there were more of them. I saw a lot of ATV's why I was there so I have to assume the were tracks made when the water was lower.
