WTG at getting some nice fish. Good report and good pictures with a fellow crappie dot comer and having a enjoyable day on the water. Like I've said before when ol EB talks crappie fishing folks should listen.
This past few days have really gotten fairly nice and we could venture out on the water for a few days. Chris Carter asked if he could tag along on yesterday's fishing trip and we had a good time and manage to catch a few besides. I was out on Friday and the fish were very willing to bite. I had my limit of very nice Crappie in less than 2 hours. The lake I fish on I don't fish it on the week-ends for all the lake lice and skiers on it. With the weather as warm as it has been they have been overrun with them. Anyway I fished on Friday and so was going again yesterday and Chris PM'd me and asked if he could come along. We got on the water about 9:00 AM and started catching fish not long after we got there. Friday I caught mostly big one's and had mostly 12-13 1/2 incher but we started catching mostly small one's yesterday. The lake is down about 2-1/2 to 3 ft so that makes a difference on this lake. I can usually count on picking up a few fish when trolling along the dam but yesterday we didn't catch a fish. We used mostly minnows but did try a few jigs that I usually can get a bite on but they wasn't interested. We caught most in 15 ft of water up a little off the bottom. Water temp was 74 yesterday but was 78 on Friday.
Chris with a good fish.
He even allowed me to get a few.
We ended up with 18 Crappie, 1 Bass, and 4 Bluegill.
DO-GOODER EXTRADINAR :p

Thank you for the kind words LBM, We can always agree on Crappie fishing. EB
DO-GOODER EXTRADINAR :p
nice looking fish
CRAPPIE fishing is not a sport, its a way of life!
Way to go! I know what you mean about lake lice and skiers. Some of the skidoo-ers don't mind coming within a few feet of a fisherman at full speed sometimes. It looks like you had a pretty good day yourself and then you and Chris had a decent day as well day. Good job and thanks for the pics.
I only fish on days of the week that end with
a "Y" ...and then, only if it's raining or not.
