• No Gills yet, just Crappie

    Finally made it to the lake this week, had high hopes of warmer water temperatures and bluegills up shallow looking for spawning grounds. Even doctored up a few trout magnets and bream bugs.
    ?
    Went to a sheltered, pollen covered shallow cove/creek and found 67-69 water temps, not at all what I expected. No bluegill to be found, not even cruising the overhanging branches. With that water temp, I backed out to the mouth of the cove and targeted some lay downs.
    ?
    Thump, the first of 17 nice males ate the Trout Magnet. Dipped in the Sauce, the Crappie just could not resist.

    I tried one of the Tadpole baits that Ketchn uses and they liked it just as well. A very nice afternoon to fish, I gave 6 dudes a ride home in the live well and released a couple ladies that looked like they still had eggs. Largest fish was 11in.
