Hens teeth exist…

Unreal, goose egg yesterday, got made fun of by nimrod for getting the skunk whilst using Livescope. Almost did not even go fishing this morning. I wanted to get started on the boat stringers. Went out and changed it up. No Livescope. Trolled. And I killed them. Caught 20 in less than an hour. It was crazy. So much stuff in the water too so I was always clearing lines of weeds, or fish! Could not even set up a video shot. Anywho, here’s the catch. Kept more thank usual cause it’s been rare to eat crappie as of late. The big ones are just over twelve inches. The smallest is prolly just over 10.5. I usually don’t keep anything under 11 but today I made an exception.

Nice!!! Beautiful catches and some good eats. Love the colors on them.

Congrats on finding a good mess of eaters.

Nice mess

Lots of good eaters in that mess. The Crappie stars all lined up in a row for you and the great big smile your spouting shows the great morning. Congrats Ed.

Them are colored up nice.

Man those are some beautiful crappie! Were you trolling with crankbaits or jigs?
I had a rough time last weekend on the water with livescope. Still got a few, but it was definitely not easy.

Trolling jigs. Did have one crankbait out but did not get a hit on it. Prolly trolling too slow for it.

Those sure are purty Ed! As dark as they are, I imagine that water must be super clear! Glad you got on some!

I might have to give that a try next time if they are still being difficult. I've never trolled for crappie before.
But it sounds like a good time at 20 per hour :pray

I rarely have my electronics on except 2D Sonar. I didn't do as good as you but but a good mess in the cooler casting with the Varivas 5.6# braid again. Smoked shiner's performance by a mile. That Varivas braid cast so far I was catching more because covering so much water. The area I fished was another beat up by the last hurricane. I will post a picture before cleaning tomorrow.
Good Job on the old school fishing! I tell people all the time to stop screen watching and fish.

Congrats on some good catches!

Good job boss ! Sometimes it just takes a little patients and confidence. :highfive

GREAT JOB!!! I LOVE those thick Blacks!! Today on Da Bayou Lacombe I caught a nice sacalait as we trolled to the next lay down by accident. My jig was hanging over the side the boat and Kaboom. I"ve have never trolled for fish before but I KNOW NOW that it works.

It's trips like you had today that keep one excited about the next trip.

Bon Temps !!

I’ve been waiting for some of that to start showing up. Tried the river close to me a couple of weeks ago and got zip. 85* water was my excuse. The frozer is lookin good about now!

Went with daughter, and fishing's been good. I hear it's good everywhere down here, the Florida Fall Crappie Fishing is gooderer than it has ever been (well, at least since Spring).

Wow that’s a great first Slab!

You have such a casual groove Bud, calming to watch. Looked like y'all caught quite a few.

If it wasn’t casual, it’d be called work.

I must work then because I get the best sleep after spending a day Chasing Crappie.
