Been out of town for a few days nursing a sick mom back to health. I read about Muskrat's new formula and just had to try it after I chased crappie for a couple of hours today. I only fished for 1.5 hours for catfish, but did have 5 bites, lost a really good fish at the boat. He came up from 42 feet of water. Lost another one and missed the other bites. Now I can't wait to try this formula on my favorite catfish bait which is medium sized shrimp.
The first couple of hours that I spent crappie fishing was fair. caught 13 total, but only 4 were keepers. I was using a new plastic bait that I purchased at SW the other day and of course had to color it up with spike-it. I think that the bait was called a hardhead or something like that. Looks almost like a tube only with a solid head. I dipped the head in lime green and the skirt in chartreuse. The crappie seemed to like it.emoAngel emoGeezer The crappie were 12-14 feet deep and I fished in Savannah creek near polo-dog's place. The catfish that I fished for was in the river channel on a portion of the river that I have never fished before which may explain why I didn't catch more fish. Or maybe my catfish feelers aren't calibrated yet. emoUpsmile
