    Default Crab Orchard 10-17-09

    Did pretty well today. Kept 32 total. Alot of them 9-11 inch fish but had some dandies mixed in as well. Biggest fish was 14 1/4 inches. Also had several in the 13 inch range. Switched over to the fuzz-e-tails today and did not use minnows at all. They are bunched up on wood pretty good. Some brush piles they are not...others they are...you just kinda gotta skip around and do some looking. The bigger fish were all below the smaller ones...at nearly 10 feet...while the other smaller ones were up around 7-8. Northwest wind was tough..i gave up on the south side and stuck to the north although they were having some kind of sail boat race over there that was interesting. I attached a pic of some of the bigger ones across my 48 quart cooler to give an idea of how nice some of them were. Not supposed to blow tommorrow so perhaps it will be an even better day to fish. Good luck to all.

    Nice fish Jeff. I gotta get with you and hit that lake sometime. I have only been on it once.

    Nice catch.
