Thread: Crappie In The Wind 4-8-2009

Between being beat black and blue by the wind and trolling motor foot switch problems, I was able to catch a few nice crappie. The water temp coming out of Shutes Branch was for the most part 53° which is much lower than the 56° to 59° last week, and the water is still very stained from last weeks flooding.

Nice catch, Rudy. I went out for a little while, but the wind was insane and I went back to the house.

Black Crow you are correct the wind was insane at times but I was able to hide from it most of the time, between it and the toggle switch on the foot controller on my trolling motor going bad ( a $12.48 part ) finally ran me off the water. Then to beat all it took 3 tries to get boat on the trailer because crosswinds kept blowing me off... but did bring dinner home.

Thats a real pig .Must be over 2 lb Great job

Good lookin' fish. Great job!

Good gracious everyone must took today off work.I got the Stewarts Creek ramp to launch and there was not a parking space available so grass here I came.Started out shallow and got 5-6 mix bag of yellow and crappie.Then went to my deep holes and got about another miix bag of 4-5 yellow and crappie.Wind was kicking but oh well it beats working.

nice catch

not bad for a rough day.at least u got to go i had to work

Nice catch man!

Well I did work a half day then left at 12:00 lunch time heading to the bait shop for some minnows, and you guys are right any time spent fishing is better than working.
