The trusty TM was a failure today, as was a rooster tail. But I hit 20 gills, four bass, and my first ever crappie on some night crawlers at the in laws farm today. Gills were some jumping fighters, half the time I thought I had a bass. The crappie was exhilarating, no wonder there is an entire site dedicated to them!Attachment 400764Attachment 400765Attachment 400766Attachment 400768Attachment 400766

Me too. Not often but yes. Last time out they were churning up the top water and what a fight!Quote:

They don’t bite at night here, but you are correct there is something about this pond. The gills always seem to fight harder here, never had a jump before perhaps it is because they are more aggressive during spawn season.Quote:

Nice looking pond and inhabitants, good catches. Can’t beat a worm for fish bait, period.
kinda overdoing the amount of worm you have on the hook, just need enough to cover it and lil more. LOVE LOVE LOVE a farm pound with big BG's, green carp and CRAPPIE of good size.
Agreed, when I first sat down I put an entire worm on to make sure there was no shadow of a doubt that a fish was present. Caught about ten on that old girl before she was back to an acceptable size.Quote:
