What a difference a day makes.

What a difference a day makes. - 08/04/19 07:39 PM

Fished 4 hours yesterday afternoon and boated (all released) 43 nice crappie plus several bass. Light wind after the rain stopped. Fish hit everywhere we fished.

Went out this morning at 9:30 after the rain stopped and could only catch 12. No wind at all. Guess it was just too calm.

Yeah, I know I said I was quitting until it got cooler, well it was cooler yesterday and today. Couldn't resist.

Wife and I just now ate up the last of our crappie filets, and I need to resupply. It would be nice to catch 43 and keep the best. I don’t often have days that good, unfortunately. Practice, practice, practice...

I do not have a Garmin unit - and I still caught over 25 nice crappie yesterday morning on Lewisville in about 2 hours.

Largest one was about 15"; most were 13". Only kept/cleaned ten; did not keep anything smaller than 12"; . Got to lake at about 8:30AM, and back in slip at 11:00 AM; got hot at 10:30. All caught on Crazy Angler 2" Shad, and Sour Grape - some with "shad sauce" both on brush and timber. Biggest fish were at 10' (top of piles) in 14-21 ft of water. Some hit hard, and some just lifted it up a bit; bite was all over the place. Will go again today!

LOL...I only posted it because Mr. Paty always finds just the right music for his videos and thought this was appropriate for his post based on its title.
