Planes on Nimrod

Got a chance to hit one of my favorite lakes Saturday. Plan was to push minnows and followup with cranks. Never caught a Crappie on a minnow!!! Started pulling cranks behind OR 12 Offshore planer boards .... Using Bandit 300's ... 35-55 feet behind the boards. Kept 21 nice crappie. Learned that the distance between planer boards dictates how sharp your turns can be without tangling lines. Learned a consistent way to use the OR16 clips on the front of the board to make the boards work properly. Learned that trebles hooks are challenging to remove from the thumb when past the barb ... when removed, lots of blood from a small puncture!!!!
Learned that the "Precision Trolling App" eliminates guessing on depth and presentation of the Bandits. Learned Umbrella's are worth any perceived trouble!!

Pretty fish, thanks for the report! I have a order of 350s that I just got in that will get a chance at those Nimrod fish soon.

Nice report Jeff. I like the videos that you have been posting too. Keep them coming.

Ok give us the secret to hooking on the front clip. You earned those in this heat. Thanks for posting

You had quite the productive day. Nice mess of fish. And it was bad hot today.

Great catch! Congrats

Nice job. We fished Saturday afternoon. Kept 16 crappie 2 cats and 1 big brim. Did not have Any big ones though. Pushing minnows.

Great report and nice photos. Umbrellas are invaluable this time of the year.

Nice catch!

my head would hurt if I learned so much on one trip. Nice job. DP
