A spot that I found a few weeks ago seems to be just full of bluegill and bass , no crappie best I can tell , have not hit it ridiculous hard just yet and know there are catfish in it as well from a local who showed me one he got out of there.
Hit it yesterday before work and when I walked onto that public dock , there at me feet were chartreuse crappie nibbles in the cracks of the decking material ! :yikes
a possible "indicator" of crappie in them waters maybe ? :dono
Now did I find a crappie in the 30 minutes I pitched my lil baby jig you might ask , NOPE .... :banghead
but I did manage to ketch 14 bluegill and 5 bass and hooked "something" that was flat out a monster fish .....
likely a real big channel cat from what I could tell and almost got it to the surface , knew it was not going to get landed , but wanted to at least get an image of it in the water before it whipped me and my xtreme light with 4 lb test and a micro jig .....NOT HAPPENING is the word .....:Rofl
chewed my pretty little jig all up , bent the hook and sent it back to me about the same velocity as a 22 rimfire ....:crazy:
all good , it ain't over yet , my return visit in the future might just include 6 lb test and a little stouter rod , sure hope I find a crappie in there , but as of yet no dice ....
stay tuned ....
KABOOM is for sure near :highfive
p.s. careful when you wear a crappie.com ballcap , the darn things need to come with a disclaimer about the possibility of tackle destruction and ketch lots of fish too ....rotfl
