Mad Scientist crappie experiment 😂

Alien minnows😂

Heard about this product called fire dye from a bait shop down in Louisiana.  Just curious about it and wanted to have some fun playing around with it.   So gave the shop a call and order one bottle.

The stuff cost like 12 dollars a bottle for a one time use.   So don’t plan to use this stuff regularly.  I’ld be broke😂  But it works well.  Was trying to keep track what caught what but, a lot of fish caught yesterday and gave up.   

WT 56-60..  Clarity is still perfect.  Rigging 1/2oz minnow rigs out aways from them bushes where them staging females are moving in and out.

Still got dink like crazy but, hey it is Beaver😂.  Just pilfered threw them and ended with 14 before running out of time, to needing to get home.  

Nice to always put a face with a forum member.  Pleasure to meet you both yesterday sir.  

Sick of the wind...  God blessed, pics below and yes that slab ate a green minnow 😂

   As always Lance love your report, pictures and even not being a minnow fisherman I like the green minnows!

Lance, if you really like the stuff the Walmart in Springdale has some on clearance back in the northeast corner before going into lawn and garden. Did not look at the price but they had both green and red. That minnow looks like it came out of the cooling pond at Chernobyl. I did see a you tube video of a guy using  that stuff and he was at Beaver fishing docks. Those are nice fish. I picked off a few from the bank this morning. One was the blackest crappie I have ever seen.

Thank you sir.  Might try and run down there and get a bottle or two.  I’m not completely sold on it yet. But if it’s cheap than I’ll keep trying it out some.

Yes males are on the bank with their war paint on.  Easy pickings 😁

I’ve thought about wading them bushes when the wind is extremely high and rigging is no go. 

Just take my boat to where I want to go,  slam it on the bank and go to wading.  Done else where, worth a shot I guess one day.

Thanks again

I hammered them yesterday, good to meet you as well. 

Your wading idea is a good one. Let me know how you do. Just stay off the mud flats, okay.
