Sometimes it pays to hike. Moved well away from the herd on Thursday. In fact was no one within 100+ yards. Crappie started at about 2:30 and did not stop until I had a limit about 4:30. All came on tungsten 4mm with spike and the tail only of a micro plastic in black. Really nice fish. Switched over to eyes and nailed 3 over 19" on custom painted silver vibe and 4 throw backs. It will be a zoo this weekend. After fishing IL for 20+ years, I have learned one thing as a for sure.......Stay away from the guys with the gas power augers.
