Inspired by Polo I decided to fight the wind and waves to see if I might catch a few crappie. I figured if Polo could catch 29 in one hour I might be able to catch a limit in a couple hours. emoAngel I did not have much time and the wind was really bad. Using 4 lbs test and a little dipped died crappie assassin it was hard to tell when I had a hit. Missed as many as I caught. Pretty much doing just what the Crappie Master Polo said I managed to boat a few. 16 crappie came into the boat, four bass and a large bream. I let the bass go, kept eleven good crappie and the one bream for fish fries. The best crappie was 14 1/2 inches and the best bass was three pounds. Catching a three pound bass on a little wienie rod with four lb test and a crappie jig is a lot of fun. They were caught on a 5 to 10 count from about 5 foot to 12 foot mostly. I had on a 1/16 head and they seemed to be ralating to some kind of chunk rock. Got to get ready to fry up some fresh crappie for supper.<br /><br />Thanks Polo for the inspiration and information. emoWorthy Jmax
