8/14 crappies

Time: 6-11am
Water 85 and clear
Wx: clear calm and hot
Mid Roanoke.

Took a friend this AM. Dock shooting mostly, some brush piling. 15-20’. It was kinda slow. Looked at a ton of fish , only a couple bites at each spot. Usually on the first couple casts. They would not sit still once their comrades went missing. Bobby garlands and gulps as usual.

Took home 20 over 12” with a couple pushing 2.5lb. Fat with shad.

I’m currently developing an airbag system to get floater docks a few inches off the water….Looking for investors….

Hey I’m in, I’ve spent many a hour thinking of a way I could get my jig up under a 12’ wide floater.

thanks again for report. Are you using a panoptix system?

[johnr]

Yes I am. Livescope.

We found a floater yesterday that was built on the large rectangle plastic pontoons. It had like 8x8” holes to shoot through. All floaters should be built to this spec. Got a few fish under there.

I could add some air bags to the mix, a little hydraulic press here and there!
