Of course remembering as well , but I ain't all that in that department anymore .....:Rofl
But I did remember they were really high in the water column last week and I thought if they were like that in a boat all over the lake last week.....bet they are that way around the docks too maybe ? :dono
Sure enough my assumption was correct and it was SUPER DUPER tricky to ketch them , but none the less ,several got ketched .
The trick was a very light jig and NO DEEPER than 4 to 5 foot no matter what the water depth was if it exceeded 6 foot deep .
Now HERE is the tricky part , some 63 fish later I only got to feel 2 bites ! One was channel cat and the other a bluegill , the crappie NEVER showed them crappie in hands during this game of lip poker ......:Rofl
Hit water as deep as 14 and as shallow as 6 and found crappie very willing to sit down on a slightly falling jig , EVERY fish was just there when you raised it lightly .
Now mind you this , my specialty is of course ketchn lots of crappie without the use of a boat or a graph and this is not something you need to try at home :crazy:
The only soul around was in his they are not biting mode dropping his big jig to 10 feet and looking life less , He would not bend his game or his rod no matter how many I slung .....:banghead
He finally took my advice though at around the 50 fish mark to his ONE and took a handtie like mine and used it shallow like me and managed 4 more before I left .:highfive
Put a limit in the fish basket and off I went , 6 30 am to 8 30 am and most of the fish were above the 10 inches minimum.
Light twitching it upwards with my off hand 12 inches up from about 5 to 6 foot down and letting it drop very slowly ruined them and their tricky to ketch game , just saying ....
11 to 12 inch fish were average and lost 2 pretty large fish and eventually lost my worn out jig , they ate the paint right off the head , not kidding .
such was yesterday after the rain and in between ,sure was nice outside
KABOOM is the word yawl :Cowboy
