I had some of my best crappie fishing out of a pond where many cows had died. You could see the maggots falling off into the water. So I throw my minnow over there right against the carcass and my father said what are you doing, I guess he thought I was trying to snag the cow to bring it to shore. Anyway in the middle of his speech my cork was gone and I hooked a nice fat crappie went at least a pound.

So with my fathers surprised look on his face he says that was luck. So I tried it again and bamm another one. We must have caught at least 30 in that little whole and boy were they tasty.
