Bad news...good news.
Went to Pickwick today hoping to get some whites....stripers.....bass...Gills...Smallies. Didn't get any of those. The good news is the crappie have shown up early...the bad news I didn't catch anything I went after. I did hook and land a drum over 25 inches on 2# test SOS line! That was quite a battle. I went over to a place that I thought I could at least catch some yellow bass. As I was casting out and counting down to the depth I was trying as I started my retrieve it felt like I was dragging the Trout Magnet over a rock. But I knew there couldn't be a rock that shallow. I was only 10 feet deep in 20 feet of water. I did that a couple of times and then I started my retrieve at about 6 foot of depth. Then I knew as soon as I had the hook up. Crappie were stacked in the spot that they usually don't show up at until December. While not big crappie they were all legal 11 inch fish. All of them looked like clones. I caught over 30 of them before I called it a day. While it was fun there wasn't too much fight in them today. Next time I need to take a cooler down with me.
