Late summer redemption

Well I’ve been blanked of a limit thru dog days this year. I’ve blamed everything possible, even to the point of convincing da wife it was cause of my old trolling motor but even with the high tech ulterra up front fish just weren’t biting.
I took this week off work to try to figure them out (and honey do’s) and today I hit pay dirt!
Caught 40+, mainly on minners. 9 fell victim to the BG electric chicken sprayed with slab sauce. Kept 15 for a couple of taco meals.

Good job ! :fish

Very nice. Now you can tell your wife how great that new trolling is! Sounds like a great vacation.

Good pick

Way to stay after it, congratulations

You did good that mess of crappie will make several tacos.

My advice: Don’t allow a State determined limit to have any influence on your own assessment of whether or not you’ve achieved any degree of success during a fishing or hunting trip.

Good job!

Gotta love it, congrats!

Followed up on Friday morning. A little tougher conditions with drizzle and fog after the little cold front that came through which seem to slow the bite down.
Still caught a limit of blacks. In the 10” - 12” range. Several white bass that gave the BnM’s a workout. White bass actually broke my ego net. Jenko big T on its way in the mail to replace

And the final product! Yes there’s crappie in there just covered up.

I’m green with envy. I went down to the Blue Springs area this week and caught 1 fish. Are you setting up on top of brush piles? Are you jigging or casting?

I’m mainly pushing jig/minners (spider rig) in open water. Trying to avoid the brush at all cost if I’m moving with 8 poles out.
They’re spread out pretty good right now so covering as much water as I can between .2 - .5 mph.

Way to go! Nice catch!!:fish

Care to share that taco recipe?

Sure but I get no credit for it. It is really good though.
We usually do 1/2 fried and the other 1/2 grilled.
Not sure the link will work, may have to copy and paste it.
