Minus having to mow the yard, that sounds like the perfect day of fishing. Congrats! Let me tell ya T.Dub...That mower was leaving a dust trail I was going so fast! lol!  I knew I had to get it mowed before the storms, but I was dying to get out and fish with my new trolling motor. I have about a 3/4 acre lot, and it only took me an hour. I bet the motor is still smoking on the lawn mower, AND that trolling motor!

What lake? I've never try crappie fishing. What are your secrets? I wouldn't know where to start. Perhaps you could share some pointers. Super nice slabs. Best tip I could ever give anyone wanting to start crappie fishing, would be to HIRE A GUIDE!!! You could go out and spend thousands of dollars on new equipment, electronics, etc. and never come close to what you would gain with a good guided trip. Get with someone like Chuck Rollins(BigCrappie) or Brian Carter(Duck Jerky) and ask for a "teaching" guide trip where the emphasis is on learning as many crappie fishing tricks as possible, rather than catching as many fish as possible. I did that with Ernest years ago, and it was the best thing I ever did to improve my fishing. I hear people say they can't afford a guide trip, but I don't believe that. If you want to learn bad enough, start saving up. My 2 cents....

The wind is your friend, as long as your trolling motor can hang tough.
Those big crappie will bite in the wind for sure.
Great Trip !!!!

Good job!!! Nice fish! Love the detail in the story its not that hard just to look at the clock to know when stuff happens. LOL. Those times are just guestimates of course, but they're pretty darn close. Just thought it made the story flow a little better. LOL!
