Yep, if you asked for fence staples at the local farm and home they would look at you like you were some kind of simpleton. They are steeples in the country where I grew up and lived.
All I can say is my bite was gone yesterday. I fished from Cape to Carr’s and only had 4 bites all day. My neighbor had several more than I. He boated 4 and missed at least that many more. I’ve been catching from 10-20 feet deep but even fishing out to 40 didn’t help. Maybe it is just a weather slump. I hope so.
Sorry about your wife. We thought mine had it. Her doctor tested her Monday. Thankfully it was negative.
The bigger creek is Crane Creek they meet a couple of miles below Hurley. There may be public access next year at Hurley. I’m trying to work out a deal with them.
We hit a lot of stuff with swimbaits, jigs, Ned, and shaky. We fished from Cape Fair to Carrs. We only caught 6 in bluff cuts. All of them were on shaky. Nice day terrible fishing.
That’s it for me for a while. I’m going south to some warmer weather.
Bobby when I decided to get ML I made the call and put in the order. I was expecting a February delivery but I got a call the next day saying mine had arrived. Maybe tipping for services rendered does pay off.
I used to crappie fish there with a friend. We fished bluff lay downs. We caught a lot of good ones around Nemo and Decker. Once in a while we fished in the area of the docks above P12. MOPanfisher might have better info that’s hid job site.
Thanks for the tips. I decided to go big or go home so I used an Arig. I learned a lot today. Before I was trying to see a 1/16 oz crappie jig. It caused me to have a come apart a couple of times. After an hour or so the Arig was getting monotonous so I just went fishing for a while. Next time I’ll use jigs and chatters for a more precise zone.
