Know the feeling. One other lake a alternate fishing is hit or miss - mostly miss - but when fish are on, they're on big time especially for large crappie and numbers!Quote:

Funny though, this angler I gave some of my creations to before that day, met me at the parking lot and said he caught over 30 fish from a few different shore areas. He doesn't have a boat nor knows the depths but seems to do very well even with those limitations. He hated it when one of my lures he was catching fish was lost to a snag (stump) and then he caught fish on a chartreuse curl tail grub. (I pretty much don't use curl tails.)
Go figure.
Nice mixed bag of fish !
Fished that lake today mostly to learn more about shallow and deep structure, but was pleasently surprised by some decent size crappie and sunfish:Quote:

Note: the above crappie was 14" and the sunfish around 10". Most crappie were over 10", 5 were just over 11" - 42 fish in all. (quality vs quantitiy)
Alternating lures seemed to help especially in areas I anchored that had loose fish schools in different directions around the boat.
The Crappie Magnet did well catching sunfish and crappie in 7':

Nice job! thanks for the post.
Those are some nice ones. I like to fish float and fly ( jig). It can be productive
I showed a gent how to use that presentation today except with small soft plastics and a 1/32 oz jig.Quote:
