April,16

Went to a slough yesterday where I’ve been determined to catch some crappie. Used to catch a bunch there with my daddy and granddaddy when I was a kid. Well. No crappie but channel cat or there bedding. Probably caught or hung 20. Anything with chartreuse they were nailing. Hung a couple I couldn’t do anything with on 10ft pole. May go back with some minnows or nite crawlers and some heavier tackle and keep a few. Fun even if not what I was after. And was a perfect day with very little wind.

If not for the bonus there’d be no fish for me. Lol

For sure. I wasn’t gonna keep anything. But I do love some catfish.

They were everywhere yesterday. But my luck they’ll be gone when I go back. Lol. Lots of fun in a yak.

I didn't think they spawned this early. Don't know why they would be so concentrated unless food of favorable conditions

I’ve never known this early either. But they were definitely spawning.

Sound like you turned lemons into lemonade!
could be the used to be honey hole has had grass starting growing up in it causing it to silt up their for the crappie may have moved to somewhere with a harder bottom!

There is grass everywhere. Never really thought about that. Used to be just a couple patches of Lilly pads and that was it.

I have fished noodles around the grass. They will usually bury up in the grass and wait for younto pull them out

They will certainly vacate an area they don't like

My luck they would spit the hook and end up in my lap.
