Tried to do some alarm business this morning and no one wanted to see me today. I guess everyone is planning tomorrow&#39;s events. After making a couple appointments for next week I decided to slip out this afternoon for a couple of hours and get a mess of crappie for supper. emoHungry <br /><br />I tired three places around the wolf and Harrison with only one good keeper crappie to show for my efforts. I lost two others but even with those that would not have made a mess. After about an hour and a half wasted I decided to try to salvage the day with some spots. I headed for one of my deep winter holes that I usually catch spotted bass on to see if they were there. To my surprise they were there and they had some friends. emoBig
Bass have gone deep in the Chick.<br /><br />Hit a deeper drop that usually had spotted bass on it in the winter and since I was in the hunger for some fish I hoped that would do. I started slow rolling a 3/4th oz spinner bait about 15 foot deep and one spot right off nailed it. Just a little later a very nice 2.5 lb LM crushed it. I released it but do not catch them there often. Tried a deep crank and after a few casts one killed it. Line stretched and drag sang. Up comes another LM just a little over 4 lbs. emoSmile I would really be excited if I had not been trying to catch spots and make a meal. emoScratch Moving on down my drop I went back to the blade and started nailing spots and LM everywhere there was a bend in the ledge drop. I ended up catching five LM all keepers that would have gone about 14 to 14.5 lbs. I also caught seven spots with only one slick in them. emoTongue Best spot was 16.5 inches. I released all the LM and the big spot. Came home with five nice keeper spots and will be having fresh fried fish for supper tonight. emoHungry <br /><br />Needed a fishing fix after sitting in the deer stand this past week. I wish everyone a great Thanksgiving! emoGrouphug Jmax
