shoot I don't know bang
some times I am one sometimes I am the other woot
but to be sure parmesan crappie thumb

I mostly subscribe to the partisan venue myself
stuck in a rut on the pragmatic venue will frequently send on home asking ones self what the heck ?
so pay attention to the turtle !
it was pointed somewhat NW btw ..... eeks

so after a plate of crappie for me ...
and a some crappie for the turtle as well ..... OMG

some of us met up and hit the water .... thumb
it sure started off like a whoops we are in trouble visit bang
we searched high and low .....
we hit every place we "thought" they mite be .....
boat number 1 said I am headed up to the other end of the lake
and....thank goodness he applied some PARTISAN to the venue thumb
calls after a little bit and sez found EM !
in 2 to 3 foot of water ! hammer
we fire up the 40 ZEBRAS and burn it up ......
go go miss minnow ....take us to the selfie location my lil sweety roflmao

K A B O O M slinger
and its ok if we mix species as well ...right ? roflmao

boat one says uh oh ....its ketchn selfie time ....! hammer
I said wait just a minute sir ......
I think my bud has on the new world record crappie !!!!
oh my goodness his rod is bent over ....
sez good golly was that THUMP !
we all watch in eager anticipation I tell ya ....
the cheering section is clapping ....
the hoots are going on ....
and then ...
the hoist !
WHOOPS woot
TURTLE !
KABOOM breakdance

jokers wild 1.25 slab bandit on the turtle if yawl was wondering btw roflmao
what a good time we had .... clap
ketched us all kinds a things up VERY shallow
black crappie ,white crappie ,black bass, assorted sunfish ,carp and of course a turtle as well
to be continued ......

anyway we tried the locations we thought might hold fish early on
some say they migrate to the creeks in the fall you know
and this may very well be true
on yesterdays episode the lower end of the lake was REALLY tough
met a 30 year on the lake fisherman leaving the lake
he says I just tossed 4 dozen shiners in the water !
because we couldn't buy a single crappie bite eeks
I am not wanting to hear that I tell ya
my hurry up to drop the minnow downshifted
and to be sure HE WAS RIGHT ...
1 under under the bridge hammer

I say well at least we didn't get totally skunked ...
then 1 under under a deep dock as well hammer

now mind captain crappie is my back seater ...
he has managed 2 keepers .....
so the one bud who says he wants fish ....
gets at least 2 .... roflmao

the spots that have been productive held ALMOST nothing
the bamboo was nada
the bridge was almost nada as well
my best docks were close to nada
anyway we toss him the 2 and head north west to where boat 1 says he is on some fish ....
the turtle did say northwest ya know .....
I think we might have the record on hangs up yesterday
man was that shallow brush some jig eating nasty stuff
but by golly they was packed in it like sardines in a can thumb
really surprised me that they went so shallow
I even managed one or 2 in about 18 inches a water eeks
strung up a few more for our other bud in the canoe

so in this case a bit of partisan behavior was the ticket
wish we knew what we found out sooner
but to be sure never say never thumb
heck I even got me a little baby Mohawk

and several other sunfish size sunfish as well
roflmao

KABOOM
slinger

we were dropping 1/24 1/32 and 1/64 to reduce hang ups and to slow drag the jigs
they wanted the jig drifting around down in that brush
lost quite a few nice fish and missed a bunch as well
ketched quite a few unders we did
but a few thumps beats no thumps all day long in my book thumb

some white some black in the mix
seemed about 50 50 ....

color seemed very optional as well
got bit on everything I tossed pretty much
some did better then others though
SILVER FLASH got in on the action
bigfish a the day bit a LUCKY STRIKE
but my bud did well on his jokers wild SLAB BANDIT as well
I think boat one was pitching BOBBY GARLANDS
so it wasn't really about color it seems yesterday
it was about where the fish were
and the WERE ...VERY SHALLOW
thumb

interesting question ? I didn't keep them for me , so I have no clue
but then again I never do have a clue , in case ya dint notice roflmao
I am mostly the PARTISAN crappie person ....
I don't typically worry lots about what is driving the fish
as long as they get on my jigs that is lizard
I for sure wasn't thinking they went THAT shallow .....
makes me want to go back and look at a similar spot on the other end of the lake
I didn't find them in it last week but now I think that mite have been where they were yesterday on th other end of the lake
and I told my bud we aint going back in there that far ....
its to shallow for this time a year bang

interesting for sure but they may have been there all summer
it was my first visit there so I don't know if it was a fall pattern or the normal pattern
I bet it didn't have those numbers of larger fish under it in the summer heat
but one never knows for sure if one wasn't there in the summer hammer

Hey Ketch let me know if that turtle points to the shallows here in the eastern sector.
