If ya don't got a picture, the fish can be as big as you can convince someone it was. It's works for me.

Was wondering if you would drop the phone. Some days are just like that.

Crappie fishing is hard at the moment with the wind coming up around 8.30. Got a couple. Both just over 12 inch

I live on top of the Mogollon Rim in AZ, Ive tried to go to my favorite close fishing hole about 25 miles from me and the road is still snowed in (Apache Trout and Artic Grayling). So heres what I propose. Ill buy a couple of those disposable Fuji cameras and bring them down to Texas and go fishing with you to get the pics. Deal?

Just kidding....Im not travelling with this virus crap going around.

I got up early, got some stuff done that I needed to do and went trout fishing like I said I was going to do. My sole purpose was to catch a decent trout, take a picture of it and post it on here for you guys to see. Now you have to realize, that the only thing I do with my phone is to plug it in to charge it and to unplug it when it is charged. I can make a call, and maybe if I get a call I can answer it, sometimes. Usually not before it quits ringing but sometimes I can call back. My sweetheart gave me a quick lesson on how to take a picture. Ya, ya, got it. Simple enough. So I tool down to my "Honey Hole", someone is already there but, where he is parked I think he went upstream. My "Honey Hole" is downstream, o.k. good no one is there. I sneak into the water, and on my first cast, fish on, and a decent one. O.K., I'm knee-deep, in the middle of a stream, trying to get my phone out of my waders, with a decent trout on, trying to turn the phone on. It's a smart trac-fone, so it needs a pin number to get it on, o.k. I put the pin in, "incorrect pin", try again, "incorrect pin". This goes on for about 5 minutes. You have to realize that I'm standing knee-deep in water and mud, with a damn phone in one hand and a fly rod with a trout on, in the other hand. I get the phone on and the camera icon comes up, and I punched the icon, and nothing happens, I punch it about a doz. times and the phone goes off. Oh God, here I go again. After another 10 minutes, I get the phone on the, camera icon on, punch the icon and I'm looking at an imagine of myself on the phone. She didn't tell me what to do if this happens. I turned the phone around, that wasn't the answer. The trout was exhausted by this time so I grabbed the tippet to pick the trout up and take the fly out and the tippet breaks, the trout swims off with the fly hanging out of its lip. Tie a fly on, make 3 or 4 more casts and bing, fish on, even a better one. So, I go through the same damn BS again, and again, and again. I quit! Catching a trout was not a problem, they were 10 yds in front of me, but to take a picture was a problem. I climbed out of the stream, took the phone out, turned it on, put the pin in, punched the phone icon, looked at myself and took a picture. Good I will put this on my avatar. I came home and my wife put the picture in the gallery, I pluged the cord into the phone and the computer, Ran the instructions off on how to put your avatar on, and it didn't work! Now it's BEER time.
I got up early, got some stuff done that I needed ... (show quote)

No pictures necessary FG. I have the whole video running in my head. LMAO 😂🐠🕺

Its warmed up here and 80s most days, one town has put on a curfew of 10pm to 5 am. My fishing hole is 10 minutes from home and so far no one else has been in there. The bass are bedding as I saw a few yesterday and the crappie are roed up so they will be too shortly.

Yep, if I was telling that story, I would’ve dropped the phone in the water reached for it slipped, flopped face first, had no phone, no fish, no picture, no rod, no dignity. Sounds like you did very well from my perspective.

Yes as well as 2 bass. Had a nice meal of them last night. Will be back out again Monday. I have a question, would circle hooks work for crappie fishing, also do they bite better at certain times of the day

I don’t know about the Circle hooks and Crappie. This time of year where I live it’s usually early morning and three or four hours before dark. I use jigs which usually has chartreuse and another color. For some reason they like chartreuse with blue, pink, red, black, char on char, etc.

Was wondering about times as over the years I've caught crappie in this lake its been after 10 am, the way the wind comes up here I'm going to try earlier Monday. I have caught a couple of smaller (10 in.) around 9 but the bigger ones come on a bit later. I missed a few yesterday so going to use a circle hook on 1 line.
