I rolled up to my favorite little lake to ketch crappie off the bank the other morning and I have to tell you it was a real nice visit . Not a soul there and quiet and not terribly cold with some nice sunshine and I even got to pull my hood back on the old jacket after a bit to enjoy the sun .
I measured out around 10 plus a bit feet of line and dropped a jig . It settled and I waited a few seconds real still and nothing occurred . I moved said presentation a little to right REALLY slowly and with a ever so SLIGHT rise to it and …..
KABOOM first drop ! :highfive
Man do I love a start like that ,although it is often a bad omen for me and after said fish hit my hand I forgot exactly what I did to get that kind of bite and in crappie ketchn it often makes a big difference to replicate said actions to repeat said outcome . :Rofl
So there I was struggling some for about 10 minutes or more and I said wait mister to myself . Do what you did the first time silly boy ! So I put it down and did a similar version of the first drop and sure enough KABOOM again !
I did this a few times until I had to go off to work and photo counter says 18 fish . I had 2 that would be short of 10 inches for sure with most of the ketch being 11 to 12 or maybe a tad bigger .
I used a twin tail bait in a color called fish eggs and to be sure they liked that big old gaudy thing .
Hope you have a great day and for sure KABOOM is the word :cheers2
