when the wife said she wanted to go fishing. We hit Lake Murvaul about 9am this morning. We got to the ramp to find the lake was up several feet from the recent rains and very dingy (even more so than usual for Murvaul). I remember thinking "this ain't going to be good". The first brush pile was a bust so we moved on to the second brush pile and before I could get my jig in the water, the wifey was swinging a keeper over my head. She was wearing me out with those dang minnows. The minnow bite slowed after awhile and then it was Thumpin Thursday for the jig fishing. We managed 13 keepers and decided to go eat lunch. It was just a good day. Oh yeah, the fish were right on bottom, in the brush, around 17 fow. Had to jig very slowly and carefully and still lost several jigs but that's crappie fishin!

Way to go!! My wife has reserved next Friday for me to take her crappie fishing...Every since we went to the get together and seen all them big ol slabs Tommy Ezell weighed in, the whole family been ready go...makes me happy.
The driving force and secret desire of every bass fisherman, is to one day be a crappie fisherman............Could it be that the good Lord just smilies and looks the other way when a fisherman tells a lie?

If you go to Murvaul the Dotson bridge end of the lake looked like chocolate milk and the crappie bite was zilch, however, there was a couple sitting under the bridge pulling in big channel cat just one right after the other. We had our best luck on the dam end of the lake over brush piles. Good luck and good fishin.

I can tell you from personal experience it is best if the wife catches a bunch of fish. Helps to create an unlimited fishing budgets...lol.
Mine started out so, but now she fishes with me on 75% of my trips& will catch as many as I catch.

CONGRATS! There's nothing better than spending quality time on the water with your better half And if she'll let you slip a fish in every once in a while, even better
