Team CK, Crappie Assault Force !

[brettw]

Mission: to teach Brettw the nuances of long lining for crappie while at the same time, putting a hurting on the crappie population of Lake Wylie

The day began like many other, CK texting me, telling me how he's going to hit the boat and inviting me to tag along. Only this time, I got permission from Mrs. Brettw to go !!!
With trepidation and fear of ramp overload, we hit Ebenezer with full force ! Slipping the CK Crappie Tracker into the water with ease and not having to wait at all. CK, hammered down the 140 hp and we were off, heading for his hot spots.
After stopping to help several bikini laden vessels with directions and safe boating tips, we arrived at Crowders Creek.
CK setting up 6 rods with various colors of Road Runners, all 2 ,1/8th and 4 , 1/16th oz. Pretty soon I experienced my first crappie on a long line and managed to reel it in without losing it even though CK has all his rods set up backwards for most experienced fishermen.
After several fish, CK decided to go deeper switching to 4, 1/8 oz and 2, 1/16 oz, as most of our fish were hanging deep. This he astutely observed, was likely due to the many boats in the creek, AGAIN (sigh), several of which were bikini laden, who seemed to be taking more than a casual interest in us.
We pressed onward like true fishermen and ended up with quite many dozen of fish. We didn't find the 2 lbs + but we did rather well, finishing off the day with quality Blue Moon cold ones and CK managing to take a whiz into water bottle with a very small opening, but it was not a problem for him!

Thanks CK,

Here is a pic of 1/2 of Team CK,

Bikini Pics would help , other than that a great report.

Agreed! Less chit chat about fishing, and more on these bikini laden damsels in distress. Good read, glad y'all was able to bag several nice dozen!

[ofishlbizzness]

How many dozen is in quite many ? Good report. Now bout those bikini shots ! Good report. I think I smell a longline challenge a brewing here .

[STUMP HUNTER]

Right disappointing not having the right pics on the post but it does sound like y'all had a good time. Now the only question I may have is wondering what these damsels must have looked like to show you two any interest

Brett,,just think of how many more fish you would have caught if you'd been watching the rods at all time instead of sight seeing!!. CK probably tapped you in the head with one of the long rods and told ya to pay attention. Nice pictures and sounds like a great day of catching( even if you wasn't watching the rods at all times) . Thanks for sharing the trip with us? Are you working on setting your boat up for long lining. Now??..Its addictive for sure

[BigDawgg]

I am glad you guys got out and caught a few. I like the pose with the arms crossed. I think Ck will get you hooked on long lining. Great job almost, now about the babes you let them get away? Good report, thanks.

Bigdawg I PM you. Bearclaw, Brettw was manning the back seat. You dont know how many times I had to tell brettw to watch the lines there is a bite. Or you have to watch the lines to see the bite sometimes the pole will load up a little. Also Brettw the poles are in the back of boat look there.
Team CK is ready for the Long Line Challenge. Actually we boated 13 fish, and lost quite a few. Hard for brettw to reel in fish when he is looking the other way.

Im gettin our signature sponsor shirts ready.

You caught in intentional typo!
He who catches less than a dozen, is less than a man.
And he who catches more than a dozen, is more than a boy.
