Biting better today

Enjoyable morning to be out. There were a lot of people after crappie this morning, but I still managed to find a bed or two to fish. After the slow bite yesterday, I wasn't to sure what to expect. I caught 6 or 8 small crappie for every keeper, plus a few bass & drum, so there was a lot of action. Most fish were suspended around 5' early and more like 7' as the sun got higher. Several times a big cloud would block the sun and the bigger fish would bite better. Color didn't matter much, I switched colors almost every time I put on a new body.

Have a great weekend!

That is cable duct, it is used when boring under highways, streets, parking lots, etc..

Guy I worked construction with did something similar with empty 5 gallons buckets, left over concrete and scrap wood that he'd cut down into strips. Wish I had done the same back then when I could have made them for NOTHING! :banghead

Nice job!

I see... It looks like it would work very well and not catch many jigs compared to wood. I guess I need to follow a construction crew around and pick up their scraps.

A little bribe might get them to save it for you. Our local contractor piles the scrap next to their dumpster and I pick it up every few weeks.

Hmmm... So I guess I'm looking for an electrician of some sort. Thanks for the tip!

The contractor I get the majority of my duct from buries our telephone & fiber cables. Power companies use a lot of the same type duct, usually red or black. You probably need to find a crew that bores roads for utility companies.

I've got a bunch of beds on Stockton. Some times it helps over there but I tend to catch most crappie trolling in the summer. Glad you found some on Pomme she tends to get pretty wild this time of year.
