Crappie 9/2 and 9/5

[Lance34]

Well last weekend was a bust.  Couldn’t get any crappie to bite.   Something was off...

Had the day off Wednesday so went and tried the big flats up the river.  Mark a ton of bait and fish in that 17-15 foot range.  I go through it...  Some would nip at it, some would stick and some would hit so hard they would pop off.  Had 7

Yesterday went back to the area I fished that was a bust the week before and they were eating aggressively.  Couldn’t find them grouped up like previous trips.  Just random loan roamers that when they bit it was fast and hard.  Like pulling your rod tip half in the water.   Made for a lot of pop offs.  Would of had a limit if I fished cleaned.  Ended with 10.  I tried the 15 fow and going over piles but the little bass would eat mean alive.  Pushed out to 17-18 and it seemed to slow a bit on the bass.   Just made for slower fishing catching roamers but you’ll catch some quality ones that way.

WT is around 80-82.  I was fishing about 10-12 feet deep over 15-18 fow.  Minnow rigging and using moon jigs tipped with a minnow.  They bit the moon jig more than straight meat and wouldn’t even touch plastic like they were previously.

 

 

 

 

Hopefully the weather will work out for Wednesday.  Gotta another day off👍

Good fishing and God Bless Lance.
