Pineview Nightshift

[Jmorfish]

I went back to my spot from Friday morning, punched some holes set up my shelter around 6pm. Like clock work the Crappie began to appear as darkness set in. It took me until 10pm to catch my 20, there was 2 other guys who joined me and they caught 5 between them. It is not an easy bite, but once you learn the way of the fishing force and factor in the Spidey Sence it’s a snap. I was in 40ft. Of water half way up the narrows 300 yards west of the big pressure ridge, which is farther than most folks are willing to walk from the Dam or the Windsurfing Beach. They where stacked up from the bottom to 20ft. I used a gold Kastmaster with the split rings removed with an 8” dropper to a 1/32 glow Gizzy Bug tipped with meal worm and or glow crappie nibbles.. I mainly caught my fish off the top of the pile, I would drop down into the fish, dead sticking in my hand, occasionally  moving up or down, the bite for the most part is a whisper, you sense it more than feel or see it. 

Nicely done, OBI 1....3 or 4 years ago we were doing really good at PV for the late evening crappie bite..lot of fun, but only when you figure out that super lite crappie bite, and more or less just anticipate the bite....sounds like you have it figured out..mighty fine eating too....Guluk
