Took a while to figure out what they wanted to eat but finally did it. Caught 5-6 about the same size along with some smaller ones as well. Was a good day for only being out about 4 hours. Windy conditions and was around 55 degrees. Then turned off cold with rain before calling it a day.

Always seem to do good here with the bandit 200. The model I use isn’t shown. It is called a “splatterback”. It is a crappie profile. The actual bait is shown next to one of the fish. I have found that on this body of water it has a large white crappie population. Bass feed on the crappie and the crappie feed on the bass fry in the spring after hatch. It is an ongoing cycle it seems. Water is getting colder and I was burning this through the water on the faster 8.1.1 reel and not the 7.1 to get reaction bites close to the shoreline after they followed it in.
