Just now getting settled in. About to hop in the shower and sleep in tomorrow till 5 and go try again. Only 4 teams brought 7 crappie to the scales. We were one of them. Everything has been beat to death. You can't hide good stuff from 100 great teams on a 7k acre lake. Despite being a tough lake I've learned a ton here that will help me going forward!
Went out for a couple of hours this afternoon. Put 25 slabs on ice. 15 foot of water about a foot off the bottom. Really aggressive bite . About half on a 1/8 oz Nekid tackle hand tied gray and the other half on a yellow and purple bumblebee looking jig.
Man 3 days was a grind! We finished in 9th place. Really happy considering how things went all weekend! I will update more later! Looking back I would have done things differently and done a little better but that's everybody. That said you could give me a month on that lake right now and I couldn't put together a 21 fish 31 pound stringer! Mike and Tony stomped us all! It was an awesome experience!! Made enough money to pay for the weekend and the top 25 are already qualified for next year! We will be back! Gonna fish some ACT and a few crappie masters next year. Hung out with some super crappie anglers all weekend. Greneda is next on my bucket list! Gonna fish there next spring for sure!!
Couple more!! Weighing on stage with walk up music and all was cool!! I could get used to that!
Final standings from championship Sunday.
If you would have told me we wouldn't have caught 7 crappie all 3 days on Wednesday I would have called you a liar. The generation on Sunday threw me for a loop though. That's something I've never dealt with. 2 of my best 4 docks were under a creek channel and it was flowing like crazy Sunday and washed those 2 out. Leaned a lot on this one. You don't learn much when you hammer em. You learn from struggle!!
Congrats, enjoyed following along. Sounded like a typical crappie trip of mine. I've been on that lake numerous times but never fished for crappie. Lots of big powerboats. There was a liquor store on one of the islands, thought that was interesting...
