Oh crappie

[hotwielen65]

Next time I'm going cat fishing then maybe I'll catch crappie:) Got on the water around 9:00, scouted some creek beds with the side imaging, marked some brush then dropped double minnow rigs in 30 to 25 FOW. Went about 20 feet and a pole went down, it was the first of 22 catfish I caught a couple stripe and had 3 short crappie. Left the water at 4:00, got the whole day to fish so all is good!!!! Biggest cat was a blue about 5 plus, on a 12' crappie pole, now that's a fight, and managed to keep him out of the other 5 lines.
Water was clear for OH and temp in the am was 46, 50 when I left.

Happy thanksgiving all.

Congrats, I bet a 5# was a good fight on a long crappie pole, been there lots of times, you think you're hung up for a few minutes until the critter starts going away from the boat, and the reel starts singing. LOL.
