Fishing with my dad this weekend - nervous
My parents are coming to visit me this weekend and I am planning to do some fishing with my dad on Saturday. I am certainly looking forward to spending time with him, but I'm also a little nervous because my dad is the one who taught me how to fish and I want to make sure that I can put him on some. I could care less about getting skunked if I was taking a buddy fishing, but I always want to impress ole dad
. I haven't been able to fish for a couple weeks because my motor has been in the shop (just got it back this morning). So I haven't been able to consitently pattern the fish as I would have liked. He and I are old school when it comes to crappie fishing - long pole jigging or minnows/jigs under a bobber - so trolling is out. We'll be fishing above Fate Sanders, so I guess I am going to look for them first in about 10-15 foot range then move shallower/deeper if needed. If the spawn has ended and if they have moved out of the post-spawn staging areas on Priest like I have heard people talking about it might be time to try out some of the deeper brush piles I sunk back in January. We'll see. Wish us luck out there. Sorry about the long post, just thinking this through.
