I changed my mind and headed out to Suffolk rather than the North Landing River. It was a slow bite and things were not looking too good around 4:00 when I only had 14 crappie with my biggest at 1lb even but then I decided to hit a spot that I had tried first thing (and only landed 5 dink crappie) and boy was it the right decision. I got 16 more crappie but the fun part was that within 45 minutes I landed 2 at 1lb 3oz, 1 at 1lb 5oz, and 2 at 1lb 8oz. Pearl BGBS on a 1/8oz jig head counting down to 7 or 8 was the ticket.



These 5 nice crappie made my day. I much prefer to catch bigger crappie rather than just high numbers. I want to say that I went 4 hours or so mid day without a crappie so perseverance paid off.
