Hoping the timing was right we dropped in before 7 and made it to where we needed to be. It didn’t take long to find out things were doing just what I had hoped for. It wasn’t 5 minutes and 2 solid Crappie were in the box. I handed the rod to Cam and she was quick to prove that she hadn’t forgotten how. She started asking for help and rightly so. The fish she had on was just a sneeze under 15” and in tight quarters. A little more pull and a little net and it was picture time. It’s the one on the left in the group shot and the big fish of the day. I had one that was close but hers held its title with ease.
We fished til that spot got slow and we went in search of some big gills but only found one, but he was nice. He now resides in the pond at Cam’s house. We moved around and found only one redbreasted sunfish that thought he was extra large instead of the average he was. We revisited the first spot and found a few more, definitely worth stopping back, but we were done. 10 fish in the box and we let keepers go, so it was a pretty old day for us. The fish went to a neighbor that couldn’t get over the size, as most were 13 or better. A very good day in excellent company, and weather conditions that couldn’t have been better. And all the fish shown were caught on 2lb test. I dearly love the time I get to spend with my bestest fishin buddy. She’s now 14 and I’m sure her time will get harder to get a little bit of as the years progress. She and her Papa sure have a big ole time when we go. Thanks for going along with us today, and until next time we meet..........Skeet.
