Very nice mess of fish!
Decided to make a quick trip this morning just to see what's happening on the lake. The weather was nice being low 60's and no wind to speak of. When the sun came up it started warming up, but slowly which was nice. Water temp began at 76.7* before sunup. And only 3 other boats seen this morning.
Got on the water just after 7AM and headed to the fishing grounds. Got there, look around some not really seeing much besides some small bait balls but went ahead and put curly tail jigs out. Slow, like I stated, but would catch one occasionally. Size was good though as I used the net to land several of the fish I caught.
The bite I did see slowed quite a bit after 10AM (although there really wasnt a good bit anyway) so at 10:30 I decided to head home. I was having family coming in tonite and I had some things out Dad's to do today.
Anyway....final tally was 22 crappie caught but out of those 15 were 11" or better with the biggest of the day at 14" long. Overall I would rate today as a win especially with all the summer heat we've had along with all the jet ski and pontoon/pleasure boaters all summer long. I wasnt really expecting to go to the lake today and bring home fish to clean so that's a plus. Here's a few pictures of my trip.

Nice work there! It won’t be long until we’ll be seeing the Butch reports nearing a hundred….
On another note, how’s the hunting going?

Chris, I havent shot anything yet. Been seeing some deer and had a few shot opportunities at some does and a small little 4 pter. No monsters where I'm hunting but I know there are a few bigger deer around. Right now I'm kinda "window shopping". It's a long season. Thanks for asking.
It's great to see your report and pictures. Thanks for sharing. Good luck with your window shopping. I hope the big boy walks by and stops in the perfect location

It's not the numbers or the size, it's the time spent on the water!gabowman LIKED above post
