Thunderin Gobbler Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 I finally got my boat out yesterday for the first time after getting it worked on. We decided to go to CC as it is the closest ramp for us to get to. When we pulled in both parking lots were full!!! I've never seen the top lot full before. But I guess that's what happens when the fish are biting. We started out with motor problems-the pin the keeps the shifter cable and handle together came out so we had no gears. After about an hour of messing with it, we finally got it going again. Caught several small ones and 2 keepers on the cove next to the ramp. Finally made it to the spot we wanted to fish about 6:00. There were seven other boats in the area already. In about an hour and a half we caught 2 limits of crappie, a few whites, and about 150 short crappie. I also caught 3 largemouths on a crappie jig, one going about 3 lbs. It turned out to be a pretty good night, except for the hour wait at the ramp to load up. There were trailers lined up all the way to the highway.
Dutch Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Rouark wasn't quite that bad but it was loaded with rigs in the overflow. Lots of folks wait till it gets warm before they go to the water. What amazes me as why more of them aren't at work during the week.
Gilly Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Then the weekend will be a zoo....Although I heard the bite died off dramatically already. www.drydock516.com www.drydock516.com
Thunderin Gobbler Posted April 14, 2011 Author Posted April 14, 2011 If It's died off already Gilly, I'd hate to see what it was like when they were biting good. I've never caught fish that fast. The males were up making the beds and the few females we did catch didn't look like they were completely full of eggs yet. Just a little bulge to them.
