Trip: Sniping Giant Crappie W/ Livescope
★★★★★
Scott worked hard, he showed us how to fish behind the livescope, and we tried many places, but in 8 hours of fishing we ended up with nothing. Three of us were fishing with Scott. Scott caught 7 or 8 fish, I caught 2, one of the other guys caught 1 and the other man caught 0. A couple of Scott's crappie approached 10 inches, but all of the other fish were 7 to 8 inches. I know that sometimes this can happen, but it is terribly disappointing when you drive 375 miles, spend $500, fish for 8 hours and we go home empty handed.
