Heck I dunno , the darn things drive me nuts :Rofl
and its an exceptionally short drive rotfl
But .....this much I do know , there is a difference when you look at one ...
and see really large bright ovals under lots and lots of clutter and rain looking stuff ,there is a definitive leeeee good chance its a herd of SLAB crappie under a bunch of possibly baitfish ! :yikes
and then >>>>>>>that >>>>
KABOOM is VERY near :Rofl
and datz my live scope tutorial for today :biggrin
:ThumbsUp
But you didn't show the pictures of the slabs you caught. nonono
And the one black bass that thought it was invited to the party. :o
It was definitely a fun afternoon, even with all the wind generated waves we fought. :HandsClapping
Go EZ, call him out on not sharing the fish pictures.
Of course I will. He rides me on a regular basis for not taking pictures of the occasional crappie I manage to catch. Turn about is only fair. :Rofl
Why don't I seea jig down there? Are y'all just looking at them or are y'all gonna catch'um.....:Rofl
Sounds kinda fishy to me! LOL

You should have been there to give Ketchn a run for his money on catching the big ones. H and I didn't stand a chance against him. Most of the time Ketchn was too busy catching them to take pictures of the graph. Don't know why he didn't post pictures of his catches since they were worth posting.Quote:

it was my crappie.com shirt that done it I swear ,if Ez and H would wear one they could have been ketchn and not nettin :yikes
:Rofl
and that led light on the bimini just wore my lucky straw hat about out , i swear it hit me in the head 15 times ..
good thing i am hard headed i suppose rotfl
and in the end i have SOLID theory on why even though the depths H and Ez fished were identical to mine and even in the case of H an identical bait and they never got bit on that big slab pile .
All 3 rods were within a 3 foot circle and the boat WAS not holding still in them whitecaps .
the things i might know i might not tell ......LOL
if i could get a paycheck for the secret i might give it up ....
but until that time i will just have to keep it mum :Rofl
and yes KABOOM is still the word :cheers2
p.s. thanks again Ez for the boat ride and it was a boat ride for sure
and then , I am in the wonder why no one mentions the killer chili dog dinner we had after the wave run :cheers2
never mind them big slabs , i went for the chili dogs ....rotfl
Joe Pool only has dinks in it is the word ......
on and on you hear that .....
ok sure whatever you say :Rofl
Fished 4 hours this morning, only caught 5 crappie. Three were between 10-11 inches, one was 14 1/4 and one was 15 inches. Fished six piles under the bridge, all were loaded with fish but they just would not bite. Yes, SK, I changed colors and jig sizes, from 1/64 to 1/8, plastic and hand ties. I changed presentation from fast jig, slow jig, no jig, slow drop from above, slow rise from below, swam the bait and toss out with drop back.
Darn crappie would just move out of the way when the jig approached them. Wind and waves finally forced me to quit at noon. But tomorrow is another day, if I don't go back out tonight and fish under the lights. :)
Don't know why none of the small ones would bite but I am not complaining about the two big ones. rotfl
Because they weren't bluegill or crappie tacos! I'm spoiled by your tacos. :RoflQuote:

The heat while cooking doesn't bother me one bit since you do the cooking. :Rofl And I do appreciate you cleaning those slabs for me to take home to eat. :HandsClappingQuote:

Yup, it's very frustrating to see all of them swimming down there and be unable to get one of them to take your jig. Makes you want to break out the cast net or break your rod in two. :Rofl
resting crappie can be very difficult to wake up , they remind me of my wife :Rofl
