Crappie madness--finally!
Fun day at the local pond! I joined my neighbor's kids late in the afternoon down at the local pond. Mason was already set up with a bucket of bait-sized crappie and one rod for big bass. He had a few nice sized crappie in the bucket too. After a few casts for bass, I switched to a small jig and the crappie bite was on! Mackenzie and her friend rigged up a skinny limbs (yes, a real tree limb) with jigs. Crappie were right under the dock (actually, a docked pontoon boat). Most of the crappie were mostly small, but some nice ones too, and nonstop action.

The bass bite was slow but I got 3 nice ones. The crappie came home, all the bass went back in the pond. (I'm the old guy in the pics. And that's no regular 5gal bucket either!)
