Cut Bait Crappie........Shiners Too
Wow, I love it when a Tropical Flood Tide heads out. I was sitting on go in the East Pearl this morning when the water started heading out. About 2ft extra water to exit, too much current for the Crappie hang in the flow so shady eddy currents had feeding fish. I was done in a little over 2 hours with all I wanted to clean. Much better fish size this trip. Ketchn recommended I try some cut shiners on my jigs and man did it pay the bills this morning. I never tried that in my Life, just another tool from the "Ketchn Tool Box" to use. Very impressed at how fast the fish ate the cut bait. Now shiners caught fish too but of course more trouble than just cutting up a dead one. I ended up with 24 this trip, much better quality too. The water up the Wastehouse is even a different color. I don't know if it's dead zooplankton, dead algae bloom, or what but there is little in the way of fish with any size expect the Gar. Lots and lots of Gar. Most of what I caught was within eye sight of the funky water draining out. Seems the mixing water was a bit of a advantage as I could get right on top of the fish. I hope with a falling tide too better quality water will come in with the next tide or two. The same little stinger stung the Crappie today.
