My sweet wife and I put in at Shaw landing at 4:00pm and headed to BC. We long lined until just before sunset and got a couple of keepers. Then fired up the Thermacells and anchored under the bridge. Dropped the green lights and Evelyn proceeded to school me, "Net Boy" on the fine art of CATCHING. She caught 9 to my 2!!! Awesome time with her having so much fun. Guess I'm a pretty good Crappie Guide after all!!

That seems to be the way it goes when the wife goes along, same thing in my boat, I'm the net/bait/dehook/detangle boy
Thanks for the report
Nice job.
Good report and pic :)
Glad you found a good spot to set up. Your wife is truly a crappie catching lady. Hope she'll do the same up here when you'll come to the Wylie crappie fest!:popcorn Thanks for the report and picture. :highfive
Nice fish but why green lights I habe the Berkley clear lights that I got on clearance does it matter what color they areQuote:

Good going Scott and missus. Glad the you all got out and caught a few. That will make a good meal. Thanks for sharing
00buck, It is a preference on the lights. Some like white lights and others green. I have both on my pontoon and both work good. I at one time didn't like the green lights but after trying them I bought a 4ft. hydro glow and everyone that uses it likes the results. Green works better sometimes and then again sometimes they don't. :twocents
Wasn't sure habe never used the lights not even sure how to use themQuote:

Great going Scott, glad to see you got some
Way to go Scott. Looks like y'all had a great outing! Nothing wrong with being the "net man" for the missus every now and again.

A big congrats on the catch. Last week my friends and I set up at the bridge. They where on the back of the boat and I was on the front. The way the boat was tide off they where more around beginning of the pier I was half way up under the bridge,they caught more on the end then I did in the middle.

Way to go. Them ladies will show you up anytime they can.
Nice catch. Did you have lots of bait around the lights? I usually mark a good bit of bait around and under the bridge. Don't throw a net and let it sink too much there though, you might not get it back
Yes, loads of tiny minnows to shad constantly streaking through the light feeding on the plankton which are attracted by the green lights. Thought about throwing the net, but knowing all the "stuff" under the bridge, I didn't.Quote:

Very nice
