Thumbs up Slabs, Slabs, Rocket fish, toy Tog! The weekend!

Back on the Res this Saturday! Arrive to the Crappie grounds and again there is NOBODY else on them. Hehe! I don’t get it! Ok, I’ll keep them all to myself. Boated about 25 Slabs between 13-15.25 inches. Very thick fish I must say! Biggest one weighed a mere 3 lbs. Shiners under floats and plastics did the trick yet again with the live bait cracking the bigger fish. Had 2 rods go off at the same time at one point but these certainly weren’t Crappie. Seems to be the drag ripping of Hybrids and yep, yep, it was. One broke the line once it got into the weeds but I’m still happy I got the 7ish pounder to the boat. The other felt heavier on the ultra lite gear. Good times on the water all alone and in the zone.






Sunday! Took a trip down south to the Canal. It seems like a lot of fish winter over here. This is something I didn’t know still being somewhat of a rookie I guess. Did the Clam thing and definitely wasn’t a fan. The crunch, crunch, crunch is a super turn in when it comes to Blackfish. Managed to land quite a few including my first keeper of the year. Catching fish from all angles is something I like to teach myself. Patience is key when it comes to the Clam bite as they seem to slurp the bait rather then crack it like a Crab and then devour it. Nice day down there and thankfully sheltered from the east wind. Pick your poison guys, GAME ON EVERYWHERE!!! TIGHT LINEZ!!!
