During our warm weather, I decided to try to do a little fishing . Needless to say, the two spots I did try didn't yield any crappie. I did manage to get a few bluegill (those darn things would eat anything ), but no crappie. I was fishing in about 12' of water, from the shore, and was out there for about 1.5 hours before the temp felt like it dropped to 20 degrees and then it was time to go. I would like to give ice fishing a try, but it doesn't look like we're going to get that chance this year with warm weather on the horizon.
