Thread: When your hot .....

When your hot your hot!!! Had an hour of free time so headed across the street to my favorite dock. Wind was howling. Vertical jigged a 1/16 oz blue/chartreuse tube jig tipped with a crappie nibble down 6 to 8 feet deep. Dang missed one, moved about 5 feet further down the dock. BAM! My light action pole bends double, the fish swims under the dock between 2 piling, trouble! Then it turns around and swims straight out. Got a good glimpse of it and realize it's a nice crappie. My heart starts thumping. Get her to the top and work her beside the dock. As I'm reaching out for her I can tell she's going to jump, she does right on my thumb! A solid 16" slab. Still had a few eggs left in her. My buddy took a few quick photos and I eased her back into the water. She makes another nice jump right beside the dock to tell me goodbye. WOW what a way to start. Catch 7 more crappie up to 13" over the next 45 minutes. Time to go. I'm a lucky guy. Here is her picture.

It's a shame you can't bottle that luck and sell it! You'd be a wealthy man.

Give you $50 bucks for hand full. Very nice fish Roy. Nice post, you could write for the RTD.

nice!

That is definitely one nice dock to have across the street.

Do you know if there is any brush sunk next to that pier? Sounds like a dream come true, walk across the street and catch a citation crappie. Nice job!

I'm happy to see you doing so well! And looking forward to hearing of more!

Got to be that hat, I will issue a $100 bounty on it!

headed across the street to my favorite dock

Way to go, Roy, again! If this darn wind doesn't let up soon, I may be asking you what street that dock is on just so I can try to catch a fish!

That's how you do it--thanks for the report!
