Gator, Chick, Crappie, 3/1/14, Ray

I went along with Ray to find him some crappie for supper. He is a great bassman but not much on crappie. I was to be the &quot;guide&quot;. Well I blew it big time. <br /><br />We fished several docks with at least 10 fow, his boat has super Lowrance electronics and we found crappie schooled in many places but they wouldn&#39;t hit but it was windy and hard to cast light lures and really know you were hitting the school. We even went to drifting thru a slew loaded with fish but only caught 3 or 4 short fish. We used BG&#39;s in all the colors of shad. Also we fished lots of dead fall at and near deep water but only caught a few shorties. <br /><br />We fished from 9:30 until 6:30 and had 3 keeper crappie and about 8 throw backs. 1 big drum, and Wind was up and wind chill was 34 degrees. Water temp only 47 today. I won&#39;t be going til it warms up to about 60. Today was murder. <br /><br />Still it was a great day to be on the water, especially in his 21 ft Ranger. <br /><br /><br />
