"Hit and run, a couple here, a couple there," means 2 per spot. 480 crappie divide by 2 per spot equals 240 spots, or 120 spots per boat. Assuming old timers generally fish this time of year only 6Am to noon, thats 6 hours per boat. With each boat covering 120 spots over 6 hours, 20 spots per hour, or 3 minutes per spot.
So with 2 boats of old timer crappie fisherman, moving every 3 minutes, each, to cover all 120 spots each, you guys have no room to complain about bass fisherman or jet skis.  |
I didn't ask too many questions of the old guys. They were cleaning the crappie at 1PM. said they had caught about 80 fish which is better than a 3/1 ratio. Don't believe you can ASSUME how many times they moved or how long they stayed at any one spot.
I didn't have any reason to doubt them as I watched them clean multiple 13-14 in fish.

Our usual count this year was however many crappie we caught was how many legal fish we had on Priest. The last couple years I have caught very few fish under 10".
