Thread: Here today, gone tomorrow.

Here today, gone tomorrow. I guess that pretty well sums up crappie fishing. I also read long ago that crappie fishing was awful simple or simply awful, I've sure had plenty of both over the last 2 weeks. After going through a long dry spell it seemed like everything turned my way and I was catching big fish and lots of them every day I went. Then BAM, just like that all the big fish were gone and only a few small dinks remained. Oh well now to figure out where they went. I think I know but only time will tell. Guess that's why I love to fish, it's not always the catching it's the figuring them out that day. I was on a strong shallow water bite but it seems the big females have moved out to get ready for the spawn. Fish were in 2 to 4 FOW and some days they liked jigs and some days minnows. Last few trips have only resulted in a few hand size crappie and even zeroed out at Sandy River yesterday. Here are a few pictures of my recent trips. Enjoyed them all, even when the fish didn't show up. Now to find them big girls again.

Man I missed your post. Great job Roy!!!
