I’ve been taking him to the pond all summer and he’s gotten really good with the bream. Time for a new challenge.
With it getting colder I don’t want him miserable on his first trip. He is a skinny little fellow and absolutely hates being cold. So I thought about taking him one afternoon. But I’ve never tried the crappie on the piles in the afternoons. They usually completely shut down for me around 11:30 most mornings. Just wondered if there is a good feeding period most afternoons as well? I know the stripers, perch and bass all feed good in the afternoons. Just never tried the crappie. I assume they turn back on but thought I would ask people on here that have done it way more than me what your experiences in the evenings have been.
I feel like if the sun gets too low, they will start spreading way out off the brush. Is there a mid afternoon feeding period most days?
