More lectronics and fish.

Fished Lake Martin this morning. Caught some real nice 3 inch bream and several small ones. Drug some jigs. Drug some cranks, Drug some Alabamer Rigs. Wished for some minners but they apparently don't make them down here. Finally ran into this and drug all the junk through it and caught nothing.

Tied some Bobby Garland Mo Glo jigs on the spinning reels and vertical jigged up a nice mess of Line Sided Small Mouthed Crappie. We don't have this strain of crappie at home, but due to my impeccable fish identifying skills, I was able to identify them with no problem.

That species seems to pull harder than the white or black varieties.

And they don't thump your jig. They attack it

Beats getting skunked anytime.

garden fertilize !!!!!!!!!!!!!! works great.

Those dang things will sure mess up some soft plastics in a hurry but they are fun to catch.

Sounds like you had fun

Every single one of the above posts is absoultely true. We went minner scouting awhile ago and was able to buy some about 3 or more inches long. The goal tomorrow is to get right back on the same fish and catch them 2 at a time with a caps and coleman 2 hook rig. When we run out of the 42 dozen minnows, we will set in with the jigs Rofl Who knows, buckwheat may get in on some of the action.

I ate my first of them for lunch, and they weren't bad at all. They were fun to catch.

Did ya'll notice the 2 jigs going down in the sonar pic?

Those small mouth crappie will sure mess up a longline trolling setup.

So you're tellin me Buckwheat catches drum too? That'll be a first.

Rofl It's strictly just a nasty rumorRofl

Hypothetical question. Just suppose a man was extremely fish hungry and pulled up to a lake with only drum in it. What jig would be the first tied on?Rofl

I remember posting some of those on here and getting ridculed for posting trash fish. I like white bass, I still fry up white bass, and I love to catch white bass... soo Good Job!!! RCC

Thanks Russ. I had my first today and they were pretty good. Not a crappie, but not bad. We're gonna go try to catch another one tomorrow. We probably won't keep any more since we kept plenty today.

They're alright to eat as long as thats what you want. If we catch a bunch of em and cook em, they get eat. If you catch two or three and cook em with some crappie, nobody wants em. I thought they were hybrids, but they're whites?

They are fun to reel in when you have 8 poles out pullin crank baits moving 1.8 mph. I cut them in 1 inch strips and use beer batter . Is like fish sticks from Captain Ds. RCC you take care and make it back home ok.
