Crappies & bass

[XXlyakattacker]

Hit my usual body of water at sun rise hoping to finally get some crappies to eat. Always threaten "next time I'll keep some and try them!" Hot to my desired spots before the circus arrived. Only some icicles had formed on my feet, think I need a heater on my kayak. First 3 spots produced nothing. So I tried some spots in deeper water and it started happening. Nice 2 lb class crappies! Also got several bass 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 lbs. Only one bad side to the day. Note to self - bring a real stringer! My 10 crappie stringer turned into 1 somewhere in Blackbrook cove! Dam knot came undone. So I let the 1 remaining one go to, oh well. All in all a good half day of fishing. Got to see 2 brave souls that looked like they were fishing in a cement mixing tub with a trolling motor! Funny but not. I know from experience how quick an over capacity Jon boat goes under. Turns your fishing trip into a tackle recovery trip.
