I hate posting without pictures ... but I had to get out and soremouth a few crappie today, and forgot the camera.
It was spittin' snow a little a daylight. Thought I was DOA at the ramp... like an idiot I'd apparently left my power switch on and depth finder running last time out because my crankin' battery was dead, dead, dead. :crazy: But hooked 'er up to the trolling battery and headed out anyway.
Crappie didn't mind the spittin' snow. I think I caught ten fish in the first dozen casts. Got the "hot fish" out of the way and had to start workin' for them a little. Managed to catch 37 (if I counted right) ... kept a limit but gave a few of them to some buddies who were catfishing. I brought enough home for a fresh crappie dinner this evening. I can smell 'em fryin' right now! :grin:
I drowned a couple of cut bluegill for cats for about 30 minutes with no takers... but did catch a pair of 7 or 8 lb. blues on the crappie rig. That stretched my string.
Right now I'm about to fire up the fireplace... Life is good and gettin' better everyday ...
