Thread: scouting gone wrong

drove by this series of smaller waters a few times over the last 20 years .
told myself I will walk in one day and see if there are crappie in them .
to be sure I still do not know ....
but I do know there are lots of turtles ,snakes and bullheads ,,,,
and at least one bluegill in one of the ponds !
only stayed about 20 or 30 minutes , I typically scout pretty fast
could there be crappie in those ponds ?
I tend to think the larger one probably yes ,but not enough time to hit it well .
just stopped before work and the smaller pond was much closer than the larger one
maybe next time i suppose .....
at least i ketched some fish i suppose ....
fish count was 3 , snake count was one , turtle count was high
water was super shallow across all of pond one where i concentrated my trip
wind was howling and to be sure it was one of those things
pond 2 is pretty large and might be worth another visit
we shall see .....
