Still determined, I set out to catch some crappie on these blow downs! I promised myself before I left the house, no dock&#39;s......With my ziplock bag full of new made weedless 1/16 jig heads in every color I have I worked my first storm damaged tree..... Lost a few, not fish, jigs, and I became very tempted to head back in the creek to a couple of docks I knew I could find some crappie! But with that bag full of weedless jigs I decided if I had to loose everyone of those I made up it would be worth it if I conquered my inability! <br />I fought the wind trying to stay on this one fallen tree, I lost more jigs here.....However, mother wind knew what she was doing, she got my boat pulled out in 22 fow, and I made a cast and at 16 ct I got a huge thump....Nice 12 &quot; black crappie (first pics)....Thank you mother wind! I was on to something here and proceeded to catch 5 more crappie.....I am grinning strong now! emoBig
<br />Ole Mother wind got up there, and I was just doing too good to head home so I trolled over to this huge branch sticking up and I hugged the branch with my rope and proceeded to just straight drop my jig down.....I must have gotten invite to a crappie wedding, one right after the other was loving my weedless jig! All keepers, all fat, and all dressed out in black tuxedos! <br />Thank you mother wind, you knew best, perhaps it was my dad&#39;s wind, Thanks Dad, I sure miss you! emoAngel
