Dave called today, asked if I wanted to float a boat and catch some
crappies. The wife and kids were out and work was done for the day, we had about 45 minutes till dark so what the heck. The boat had already been stored under the deck but not covered, we hoisted it on top of his Honda and treked the mile to the lake. The lake was flat as flat could be, but starting to get very cold out as light drifted away. We fished for about twenty minutes with both of us setting hooks on everything and anything but not a fish. We were fishing some samll 1/4 oz wal mart jigs with white grub twisty tails.. you know the pre-packaged ones 5 for 1.50 type. I got a good bite and yanked back... an my pole doubles over, (this is no crappie here). the fish surged down and would not come up, I eventually lost him in the sticks down below on my 6 lb test. We fished for a bit and then Dave switched to a white grub too. We were drifting back in as it got dark right past the spot where my fish got off and Dave hooks into a good fish. His rod is doubled down as the fish just dove under the boat repeatedly.. but check the smile on ABPF when he landed the beaut!!! Was it the same fish? I doubt it, more likely there were a few holding there, I'll never doubt you again Warren.. I guess it's not over until it's over. If not for it getting dark and colder we might have had a chance at a few more in those sticks. Maybe tomorrow. Randy- |
