ok, that wasn't me. I didn't get back to the ramp until later. I was the guy in the kayak out by the island.I hit Brady's again yesterday. It was an "applesauce day". I took the day off from work to make applesauce with the Mrs and we got done early so she said "might as well go fishing!". At least that's what I think she said cuz I was out the door before she finished the sentence, LOL!When I got there it was pretty calm and sunny but I decided to bring the rain gear anyway. Good thing cuz I wasn't half way out to the island before the sun disappeared and the wind picked up a little. The FF was showing the bottom was littered with fish and I stopped often to jig a little. It turned out that the bottom was covered with 4-6" crappie that would hit the jig often. At the island the crappie seemed to turn off but by then it was lightly raining. I switched tactics and put a worm on a hook and fished a bobber and started getting some huge bull gills. I stopped at half a dozen and turned my attention to the crappie but was still plagued by the dinks and one pickerel.I decided to call it at about 5:00 and started for the ramp trolling a spoon behind me. I got about 20 feet and the rod started bending. A 10" crappie. Tossed the spoon back in and started off again. Didn't even get 20 ft this time when the pole bent. Another 10". All in all, I got several dinks, 3 10" crappie and one slab that almost hit 13".Over the course of the day I tossed back several 9"-9 1/2" crappie, I don't know how many 6" crappie and had a few decent fish spit the hook on me. Ended the day with 6 big gills and 4 crappie. And the best thing... I didn't lose my new spoon to that dang pickerel!
HIT BRADY'S ON THE 8TH, MY SON AND I FISHED 12 TILL DARK, PRETTY SLOW BITE, NORTH END EASTERN SHORE AS USUAL HAD THE BEST BITE BEFORE DARK, MAYBE 15 PICKEREL AND 12 BASS ALL DAY, I PULLED ONE 3.6# LM FROM THE STUMPS AROUND 6:30, WATER TEMP WAS 63 -65 DEGREES, OTHER BASS 1.25 WAS BIGGEST REST DINKS. THERE ARE SOME BIG LARGEMOUTH IN HERE, DON'T BE FOOLED BY IT ONLY FILLED FOR 9 YEARS, TONS AND TONS OF COVER FOR THEM TO HIDE IN AND LOTS OF BAIT FISH THAT GROWS EM BIG.UNFORTUNATELY SELDOM A NON WINDY DAY HERE AND ALWAYS COSTS ME A BUNCH OF QUARTERS FROM THE IN AND OUT DUST STORM ON THAT ROAD
