Man, that's a nice mess of crappie!

I fished Saturday and it was a weird day for me. Launched about 8am and started my search since my last trip there was our February tournament. I marked some piles with a few fish on them mid lake and circled down wind to fish them just as the wind went from 5mph to 15mph with gusts. Wasted a good half hour trying to fish on top of pile with trolling motor ( I hate to anchor). Pulled back into a cove and dipped some standing timber but not much to be had there so I decided to try spider rigging. Only my second time to try it. Too much bouncing on main lake. Went to Washunga and it was more protected from west wind. Caught a bunch of suspended vergels 12ft down in 20 fow. Me being hard headed did not listen to what the bigger fish were telling me until very late in the day. They were shallower suspended over rock in 12fow 6-10 feet down. Also tried river channel piles but too much current. Should have gone back yesterday with new found knowledge.

What the heck is a vergels?

Fish that are on the verge of being a keeper

Shoot Prof, I learned something new today and didn't even try!

That should be "vergof's"

I couldn't figure what the heck it was either.

Oh you can bet, I am going to be using that on my boat from now on. Vergels
