I went back today and tried again. Did the same thing I did Friday. Ended up catching about 70 again. Was going to try and count them but I lost track at about twenty something???emoConfused The only difference today was there was no current best I could tell. Once the sun got up the crappie moved tight to the wood of docks and fallen trees. I had two big trees that must have produced half my crappie. Man,...were they ever thick on that one spot.emoEek I tried to cull today but gave up. It is hard to cull when you got 15 crappie in the well and your trying to tell which one is the smallest. Had a great time again. There was a bunch of folks out today. I saw Tndoe and Jvs and they were in the wolf trying for themselves. At the time they had seven or eight keepers they said. I had nine at that time in the well. They did run small again but if you stay at it the big ones are there also and this is the second time I had 15 very nice ones.

Lot of people out. So was the game warden. He was checking folks but he just waved at me. I guess he see me so much I am a waste of his time.emoBigsmile Saw polo's father in law and met him when I fished past his docks. Nice guy, polo came out a little later and I thought they were going to try it but never saw them leave. All my crappie came off a chartruse/ red tube fished about 1 to 5 foot deep. They did seem a little deeper, may have been the sun.emoThumbsup Jmax
 
You are getting to be a crappie catching machine, just like the bass. Great job.emoBigsmile emoGeezer
 
Thanks guys, I found this pattern last year while bass fishing I kept catching crappie. Once you figure it out, they are not that hard to catch. I had two guys come by and just sit there and watch me. They finally started talking to me and one of the guys stated he had never seen anyone pitch for crappie like people pitch for bass. I told him if it works and I do it for bass as well why not. He said they had seen me catch several and could see what I meant.emoBigsmile Jmax
 
You guys are killing me, I have not been out in a few days (hitting the banks). But so far, I have only had 4 keepers.

Nice catch Jmax
