Only lasted about 45 minutes outside in that north wind and under 30 outside with a nice brisk north wind without gloves.
And the crappie were small enough to make me say OK Ketchn ,24 potato chips is more than is in a dollar bag of them these days anyway ....right ...? :Rofl
H went just for the sandbass/white bass , I just went for the crappie . He did ok on large ones and I did pretty well on small ones .
Ice hanging on few things made it seem colder than it was . H put on gloves after 2 fish and I said goodbye to him after my 24 little crappie, that was quite enough without gloves for me .....
MAN did my hands hurt on the thaw driving back to work after my lunch break ....:banghead
the take was very gentle and I often just saw my float slowly swimming away, about 50 50 white and black crappie in the mix and I avoided the white bass totally on purpose .
Ain't getting my hands wet in a below 20 windchill for no darn sandbass no matter how big they are ....:Rofl
will go look for bigger crappie fish soon ,this episode was just for practice .....:crazy:
p.s. note ice sickles on bush behind the tater chip in the first image
