Title: Weird year
Post by: olsarge on 12/05/19 16:09 UTC
It has been a really strange year this year.  Despite all of the families health issues I have been able to get out a fair number of times and was lucky to connect every now and then.  Even during Prime crappie seasons I struggled.  Every year in the fall I really start slamming the fatties usually startling about mid  oversight thru november.  Not this year, I would sometimes pick off one and it I was really lucky two.  Well they finally started their fall movements!  I went out at 11:30 this morning and gotinto them right off the bat.  Started off using the 2.5 inch swim fry in x2 blue with silver book glitter and a white tail.  Caught 4 crappie between 13 and 14 inches.  I lost my Jig so I switched to a 2 inch shad Bodied curly tail.  They wanted nuttin to do with that so went back to the swim fry.  This time a black one with a chart tail.  Bingo!  I caught 6 more crappie between 12 and 15 inches.  2 bass 1 small dink and a 3 pounder joined the fray.  Off the water by 12:30.  Not bad for an hour's fishing

Well there ya go. Now me, my best laid plans for fishing just seem to be Carole's favorite target this fall/early winter. Happy to hear things are getting back on track for you.

Glad that you had a chance to wet the line again even if it was only a short and productive trip. Hope you took some home for a snack.

WW yeah those fish became fillets, waiting for this evenings dip in crisco.  I made that post from my tablet (won't make that mistake again).  Oversight is actually October and book glitter is supposed to be holo silver.  Damn spellchecker.
