Howdy -
Spent Thursday - Saturday trying to get on the crappie at Rosey....Awful is how I would sum it up. Went with the typical post-spawn pattern search...suspended fish at 15-25 in 30-40 FOW. Found schools all over the lake but couldn't get them to bite. We threw minnows, Bobby Garland's, marabou's, other plastics, the kitchen sink at them. Not a single crappie.
Talked to 12 or 13 other boats...nobody could get them to bite. One bass boat caught one on a crank bait.
Missed the spawn by 2 weeks, as per usual!
Thursday started off with a bang - 2nd cast of the morning. Threw a double Bobby Garland jig setup and caught 2 largemouth. The larger LM on the top jig and smaller LM on the bottom jig. We thought is was On Like Donkey Kong. Later in the day we picked up 3 decent channel cats all on slip bobbered minners. Fished all day Friday and Saturday with only a few bluegill to show for it.
Going to head to Bartlett to try to restore my faith in crappie fishing. Thanks to Fishman's posts it seems there is still hope...
