Slab Sunday

[Lance34]

Been a couple weeks since on Beaver.  The flood one week.  So went to Lake Fayetteville and last week gale force winds.  Didn’t stand a chance in the tin can.

Been on daddy duty all weekend but, got a hall pass after church Sunday.

Ran the direction where when I turned around and set up I would have the wind to my back and my speed would be more consistent.

This time of year I like open water.  Crappie move out on the flats and channel edges following the shad and start to feed aggressively to get their weight back on after the stressful time span of the spawn.  During this time of year they want the bait moving fast.

Pulling cranks, long lining, or rigging heavy rigs.  

Went with what I have confidence in and rigged.  Stick and move😁

Targeted 20-25 fow and went by depth I’ve caught them in the past.  12-14 feet down.

Water temp 81.  Clarity light stained I guess.  

Ended with 14 before running out of time.

Hopefully this summer pattern and method will stick for a bit and won’t be a dead summer like the last.

Nice fun peaceful afternoon.  God Bless.

Pics below is a cooler of Lake Fayetteville crappie and then yesterday’s.
