It's been way tooooo long - between out of town trips, a nasty virus, catching up on work and deer season it's been tough making it to the water. Went yesterday and had a great trip. Started real slow - fished main lake brush piles, graph showed fish everywhere but could only get two nice slabs in the live well. Gave up on piles after a couple of hours and started searching the channel edges, when we found shad we found crappie and lots of them. There would be 300-500 yard stretches with a blank graph and then boom!!!! It was loaded. Would catch several real quick and then had to move to stay on them. We ended up with two nice limits but had to go through the dinks to get them. At one point I had 10 shorts between keepers!!! I guess it looks promising for the future.
Water temp 35 degrees
Jigs - 1/8th oz vertical
Color - chart, blue, pink
Depth - 25-35 fow just off bottom.
Hope to get out again soon!
