Team Fatboy Crappie slayin. Nick 4-11-08

[SpurHunter]

OK, well to some this wansnt a slayin, but to me, Puddle Jumper, and DOC1, it was terrific! </p>

PJ, and I were a little early to the dinner meet and I called him to see if he wanted to stop by the Nick for a few casts. </p>

Picked a spot out of the direct wind, and first cast 12"+ crappie! Pj was not far behind, on his first or second cast, and Slab-o-la himself, and his FIRST crappie ever! Whoo-whoooo! Another for me, and then a nice 16" bass for PJ. One more crappie, and a couple bream and Doc was calling to see where we were at. I told him dinner would wait, get over there and help catch fish. </p>

After getting lost in his home-town....(

)..he showed up and first cast, 12" crappie, second cast, 12" crappie, third cast, missed hit...it would be a little before he got another, but we were there under an hour, and filled up a cooler with 11 slabs, and a bass.

</p>

Off the the Western Sizzlin for some grub, and we were happy campers!

</p>

Fish were caught on pan-assassins mostly in white or crystal shad, and a couple were nabbed under a float. Most were tight to the bank, (rip-rap,) from 2-8' of water. Most all were males, and were getting VERY black. Caught about 8 bream as well as what I think is a rock-bass, but PJ thought was a smallie. Somebody tell us what it was please??</p>

Can you imigine going out to eat and end up fishing instead? I went to the western sizlin and didn't see Spur or Puddle's cars in the lot so I called spur and he was so excited about catching some crappie that he couldn't talk straight and he wanted me to come join them but couldn't even give me the right directions, I wonder how he gets home from work every day? I finally found them in a spot I didn't think had any kind of fish at but they were there. All the fish were keepers and close to the bank, the bite was on but as it got closer to dark they slowed down to a crawl, we finally packed it in and went for some fine eats.

Great report guys. Glad ya'll got into the slabs. Those are some great fish. Riprap is my favorite place to crappie fish when the spawn is on.emoThumbsup
