Kayak crappie

[jcioni]

Fishing a week ago, motor threw craps on me, so while the good folks at Tri Lakes Marine rebuild motor, I didn't want to waste prime crappie fishing time.  Put kayak in at ramp near Bear Den around daylight & fished until about noon, when wind became an issue.  Caught 8 keepers, biggest being 13" and many shorts.  Most were caught around standing timber in about 25 fow & fish about 8 to 10 feet deep.  Only caught one on bank.  Fished scattered.  Used 32nd oz charturse jig.  Sure missed my electronics for depth & fish.  Used the 25' length of anchor rope to judge depth.  All in all, great day to be on water..
