Well, went home sick on Monday, then woke up at 4am on Tuesday, still feeking sick, so called off work.
Then about 5:30am, my wife was like why are you still in bed. I told her I am sick, but do you want to go to Isabella, if the wind is good. We filled up with gas by 6:45 and made the long drive from Lancaster. Got onto the lake about 9:15 and made a run, the spot I wanted to fish was taken up by about 6 boats, so I hit some trees near by and bang! Landed my first crappie at Isabella!! I was stoked no skunk and the drive is now officially worth it..lol Moved from that tree to another, but in the process my son decided not to hold his pole, and with my trolling motor on 50%, it yanked my favorite little ultra light in the water..I was not quick enough to snag it, so it's down 25ft under. I am frustrated now...about 30 mins later a few boats leave and I motor over and grab a spot...we stay about 3 1/2 more hours in all between my wife and I we land 11 Crappie. Not a bad day, and my wife was happy to catch her first few Crappie ever!!
