4/4/17  been busy and haven't had chance to post my last couple trips  , i  went to my higher water spot ,  i had a sense the fish would be their and active ,threw a road runner to start the 8 inch to 10 inch  spots were loving it, then whack somethin  with a lil more weight hit , a goood crappie , darn ive never caught crappie here  caught 4 total crapie  2 shorts , found  numerous 10 to 12 inch   spots ,  all the fish were coming within the same small swimming pool size area ,

some hitting as the road runner settled to the bottom, some hit as the bait was gonna rise out of the  the water as i finished retrieve ,    a drum  drum tested my drag ,  i thought where are the smallies ? there always a few mixed in at thish spot with the spots   ,so  i switch to the Mitch craw i call it that cause i acquired mine when they were known as the mitch craw , after a few twitches   the smallies instantly responded i hooked the one pictured the way it should be done , but two others that were a lil bigger got off as i was about to bank them  ,  

caughts some  drum and smaller  mean mouth,  i caught about 15 fish , missed 5 mostly on the craw     drum spots meanmouths crappie small mouth ,  few that drop jaws though the 2crappie were niccce   but it was a fun time , and all the action was in a very small area ,it was a good time   ,  and the instant reaction to the craw on the same angled casts in the same area as the road runner was cool to see,  know im sitting at home thinking how a  nice smalles  still roaming at that spot , and it gives me a bad  itch to be  twitchin a craw
