Thread: Good Fishing at Hefner 2016

Yes. He turned and ran towards open water where there was nothing for him to break off on and I followed him. Took about 45 minutes. That fish is why I prefer a bait casting reel for crappie fishing. Much more efficient drag system. I had been told that you never catch crappie and catfish out of the same hole but I got a 14" crappie the cast before that one and a 13" crappie on the cast after that one so I am not convinced about not getting crappie and catfish out of the same hole. Actually caught that on one of my home made flutter spoons it is visible in the cats mouth. If you look at the line on the rod it is pretty thin. The rod was only 3' long. I made it out of an ice fishing blank. I like the light tackle fishing. I have since gone to mostly braid and put a light weight mono below the braid. I was just goofing off that day with the 2# line, usually I use 8# below the braid because the crappie here are pigs and have broke me off to many times. Here are the rest of that days catch that I kept. The table is 22" wide.
