Frustrating would be a understatement describing the bite today. Slabador Retriever and I hit the lake around 10 and quickly found fish stacked up on trees in 28 to 44 FOW only to catch 1 or 2 fish per spot.

When you look down at the graph and the tree is so loaded with fish, the crappie had posted a "No Vacancy" sign! You couldn't stuff another crappie in that tree if you had to and we couldn't get but one or two fish to bite at each spot. That will drive you Crazy.

Anyways we kept 23 and released the big fish. BFOTD was a 2.13.

A few pics.

Nice fish and a good post. Thanks for sharing.

I've had that same issue lately. Glad to see that it doesn't just happen to me.

Lake?

Now that's funny, I said "what lake" in yesterday's post and got the business for being a "lake namer".

"lake namer"?
"What difference does it make"?.....Hillary.

Nice mess of fish. Not a bad way to go CRAZY...not bad at all.

Nice good quality slabs

Looks like your fish are screaming tryna get outta that kooler

Thanks for the post! Nice way to go crazy indeed!

Tha ones y'all caught are some nice'uns....
Every heard tha term "ya can put a jig in their face but ya can't make'em bite it"?
Seen that aahh few times myself....
LOL

Hey Jackson those fish are not screaming, those fish are the victims of the Slabador's hook set.

I know they had a broken neck.

That's a good one! I went fishing with a guy the other day and I know there are crappie on Rayburn today that have no lips. He set the hook like it was a 30 pound redfish he was catchin.

So I guess we need to be hush hush on what lake were fishing here on this site. Whats this world coming too.

Dayummmmmm...Slabador is a neck breaking hook setter for real for real!!!

Not biting but they are there like popcorn?...yes, been there and seen it..

Here is a perfect example of what you guys are talking about.
As it gets dark, most of the time the crappies will shut down for a good hour until it is completely dark before the night bites would kick in.

Try this sometime... (from my Lowrance HDS), set Fish ID on with High Chirp Sonar, and turn on Night Mode...(lots of dinks and some nice bigger fish on this brushpile)


Here is the world of dinks!

Y'all had some nice ones
We were out for a couple of hours, but most of the places I checked were deserted, and when I found some, it was dinks
