Fishing Forum

Pat and I got out for a few hours of fishing and playing with his new Hummingbird side/bottom scanner. I installed my Hotmaps chip in it and Pat loves it. So, it is staying in that unit. <br /><br />We caught 38 crappie with most of them being juveniles and not all that many keeper sized crappie. It was fun catching the fish, although it was like pulling teeth for a while. Finally got into a feeding frenzy, but the fish were mostly small ones. The fish were about 11 feet deep or so. They liked chartreuse colors today. I fished with a minnow mind'r most of the time in the 1/16 oz jighead size and Pat fished a lot with a Bass Pro Shops imitation Bobby Garland 2" shad in chartreuse color. <br /><br />It wasn't too windy early, picked up a bit for a while, then lay completely down about the time that we quit. It is a beautiful day out there today. I'll bet that Maddog kills the white bass this PM. emoBig emoGeezer <br /><br />Pat and I have a trip to Tims Ford planned for Wednesday. Last week's trip got canceled. Hopefully, the wind won't be gale force over there. emoBig
