I was Crappie fishing today with minnows under a cork. I was throwing right up against Cypress Trees. All of a sudden, I got bit by something a little bit bigger than a crappie. Reeled it in and it was a 2lb bass! Pretty surprised that size bass ate that little Minnow. In addition, it was quite a fight on my ultralight spooled with 6lb monofilament!

When you use live bait you are rarely going to catch just one species. It's just depends on what was there

A crappie and cypress trees? Hmmmm...

 

The fellas jump all over me if I call them crappie anywhere cypress trees exist which is way down South- where I get ridiculed unless I call them specks.

 

They call me a yankee if I call them crappie!

 

I bet it was a fun fight on ultra light tackle!

 

Ray Scott would be proud!

 

(Since he pushed really hard for a national light tackle fad on 6 pound test. He even developed his own line of rods made by Kistler just for his 6 pound test campaign)

Up here one of the HOT DS baits are tiny Crappie or Ice Fishing Plastics.
