Fished Mud Creek in Hollywood from daylight until around 11:00. Pink & chartreuse were the colors that worked best.30 fish. All white crappie 12-16 inches long. Had 17 throwbacks.The bite was really aggressive. Wind was brutal getting back to the ramp. [img:center]http://[/img]

Were you in the channel?


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Trolled each side of the channel. There's grass on top of the drop off on each side. Water was up about 3 ft but not stained was the reason that I tried the crankbaits. Water temp was 72 degrees.

I've only fished for shellcrackers up there and that's the narrowest SERIOUS channel I've ever traveled. I swear when I was there if I got 2 feet outside a buoy, I was on rough, shallow bottom. A couple of obviously local guys came screaming out of there like they were running a slalom course at 50mph.

That is cool. I read an article somewhere the other day on this very topic.
I think I was reading up on Bandit cranks and came across an item said you could use them for crappie.

Bandits in the 200 series are what I was using. They always run straight, right out of the box.

Great mess of fish. I have trolled a few hundred miles on Martin in the fall and never caught a crappie, using a 300.
Just don't understand.
