7 boats and 3 on the bank !

on a Monday at lunch time ? funny how word of limits of crappie so easy anyone can load up draws the masses aint it ...:Rofl
I hit a spot I like and some crappie were there and my second spot I like not so much , I am sure there would be lots on spot 2 if the place wasn't seeing a hundred jigs a minute , but hey it is what it is ….
inexperienced crappie anglers are a hoot ….one guy eases up right beside me and begins casting within a foot of my float …..:yikes
tells me he did really good yesterday and kept him 5 white crappie and shows me 5 black crappie :banghead
asks me if I did any good as I am setting the hook ….:Rofl
I said yeah I guess kinda but not like my last visit …..
only 15 or 20 today in an hour …
the spot is getting pummeled by the masses at this point and to be sure yielding limits to the masses and I can imagine this weekend being about a parking lot all up and down that creek .
so I ketched a few real nice fish and quite a few lil fish and even one bluegill
and 2 lil white crappie ,the first I have seen of them in there this year .
and back to work I went …..
still 2 foot under a float in the current and liking it rather jiggy
same pattern as the spring fling other than the mild current ,but with colors on the leaves
have a happy thanksgviving everyone as I think I might be busy after this post
seems there is lots going on
hope you enjoy the photos and read :highfive
p.s. YES I used my slab sauce today and YES they like it
just ask mister no bite that was right beside me …..:crazy:

Enjoy the story and pics. We are heading out in 38 degree weather with the water temp at 50 degrees. Figure we will cast shallow and around lay downs. Your report has me considering a float for an alternate presentation. Thanks, Ketchn!

you know I was surprised when he said they were all white he ketched the day before as I had not seen even one up that far in the creek until I managed 2 little bitties while he was standing there . that's what started the conversation .
but he said yeah let me show ya and pulled out his phone and showed me some black crappie and then later a big white he ketched at a park he disclosed to me up on the main lake in a creek there that you and I will have not been to and we will hit for sure later :Rofl

last year I met a guy at another spot that walked up and LITERALLY put his rod tip under mine ! I was like holy you know what I have no clue who this guy is and I am thinking he wants to start some real trouble as I am the only person there . so I just stayed friendly with him as he was acting really friendly while he fished under my rod and then I got this what might have been a bite …….
and slapped the you know what out his rod with mine ! :Rofl
then he says oh sorry I guess I am a little to close to you and backed off some ….:banghead
