5 lb Channel Cat on trotline

I use bream on most hooks. So far I've got 9 cypress trout and 4 catfish. The 5 lb 2oz cat in this video was from previous night while last night I put out a couple hooks with magic bait and got a small catfish for next door neighbor (she likes the little catfish best)

Have not spent much time crappie fishing - been too busy - plus when I do fish I need to catch bigger bream for 'flathead' bait. My neighbor now has 3 flathead in his pen - and his line is only half a block from my line (all I catch are channels)

squirmin grub n jig for crappie

When fishing from dock / bank I use a jig with a squirmin grub - and a cork set 1 -1.5' deep (water is shallow here so use different set up than in boat / channel)

Reel 'dead slow' - sometimes stop and 'twitch' but try to keep motion in the grub tail

Crappie for week 03/15 - 03/20

Crappie fishing is 'off and on' - some days you catch 10-12 an hour then they stop biting - next day may only catch 1-2. Neighbors to my North - fish a couple hours a day (after work) - neighbors to my South fished a few hours - on two days (work late). I fish a couple hours a day for crappie but been taking out time to bream fish for trotline bait. If I don't get a crappie in short time - I switch to bream fishing.
Summary: Crappie move in and out - if you're around when they swing bye - you have fun - otherwise go eat supper or go bream fishing (Trotline size always bite)

crappie 30 total

Crappie are moving around in shallow water but not holding in one place so I was lucky on Sunday afternoon to pick up 13 crappie around 2:30PM - 3:30PM then at 3:45PM while my neighbor started to fillet them - I got 3 more before he could finish. Then he joined me and we both got 4 more apiece but we held them until Tuesday to clean them (along with a couple more from yoyo's) - rambling - when they are biting you better catch them - cause they move out and are gone and may not return for days
