I can't figure out why the duck hunters mind if I Crappie fish in the middle of their decoys. Those decoys make such good cover for the Crappie to hide under. :roll:
Chuckie":2ijosulv said:We went Crappie fishing this weekend on Birdsong Creek, which is part of Kentucky Lake. The fish finder showed a lot of fish in the channel of the creek, and we caught a few, but not enough to make it a great fishing day. But I still enjoyed the time spent out on the lake. It was so cold that the geese and ducks were there. We caught only one 10.5" Crappie, and the others were too small to keep. Caught a few striped bass and a real big shiny Shad. The wind had picked up and it made for a night of water motion sickness after getting out of the boat for the night. So much rippling and twisting and turning fighting the wind. Just when I think I won't suffer from the water motion again, here it comes. I guess that goes with old age eh? :lol2:
No matter what, I still have a good time on the water if we don't catch much. We stayed in the main channels away from the hunters, but we only saw two in the blinds and not a single shot was fired Saturday.

Motion decoys are not legal here during parts of the season.
