Personal goal getting closer

After a frustrating late summer of crappie fishing I made a vow. I was going to give it two years of learning all I could about catching crappie and being successful regardless of conditions. Even more it was all going to be accomplished fishing with jigs that I make. I discusses this with fishing friends of mine and even said I was going to fish until the week of Thanksgiving just to keep fishing. I have been doing a lot of research and a lot of on the water learning. Going as far as dramatically reducing my duck season just to fish. October turned out to be fantastic in numbers and average size. The last week or so has been even better. We fished with great success today. Still a lot to learn but the goal is getting close

I like your attitude.

Goals are good. Hope you catch plenty!!

You done good. When I first started turkey hunting each year I thought I had it figured out. Ten years later I was right. Twenty years later it got easy. Just stay the course and it will happen.

Keep thinking and fishing

Nice Mo

Good looking jigs and the right attitude, you'll do fine. Time on the water is the best teacher. Happy Thanksgiving.

Thats good stuff ,I hear you about cutting back hunting time to fish more I quit hunting years ago cuz a like fishing better but now my son likes hunting better so i got back into it to take him.

Nice jigs, what powder paint combination did you use to get the top jig?

Attitude goes a long ways in the game of fishing. Stay positive and open to change in the seasons.

I like your plan, I am trying to do the same thing also including using up some of the old baits I have acquired. Good grief where did they all come from, I know they all caught fish in the past. I still have the desire to fish but lost a little of the motivation because now being semi retired I am more choosy about the days I fish. It seems like having more time to go did not turn into going more. There are other factors as well, such as golden algae killing the city reservoir then the local lake then drought dropping area lakes to 10% to 25% what's a guy to do but work on the house and believe that this too shall pass.

Cool!
