Finally got to try out the hummingbird for crappie at Cedar Creek. What a great unit!

I've been to this lake a number of times and always managed to catch some, but never a limit. I still need to make some adjustments, I think I had the chart speed to fast to the boat speed, I’ll play with it some next time I go out.

I marked a number of brush piles that I did not know were there previously and all looked to have fish on them. I had five new spots marked in no time at all. I caught a limit on the first place I tried. Left the others for future trips.

I caught a limit here on this tree. Found this on my first pass. You can see most of the fish are on the left end of the tree.



I also have a couple of other places I'll go back to later, just ran out of time this trip.

This one looks to have a bunch of fish on it:



This one looked almost too good to pass up but I didn't fish it either. I'll get back to it before long:



I caught some really good sized crappie this trip. Kept 25, caught a bit more than that.



My wife always asked why I needed to spend the money on this fish finder. She didn’t ask when I got home this time.

I know where that tree is, caught a ton of fish off it. In case you guys are wondering Chuck showed it to me. Give him a call and he will show you too.
