    Default El Dorado Lake


    Went out tonight for 1.5hrs and the crappie fishing was hot. Caught one after the other fishing 10 foot deep over 18 FOW. The bait fish was stacked up on a break and so were the crappie. There were some whites there also. Don't know for sure how many we caught as Craig wouldn't get the clicker out. I guess he didn't want me to get one up on him!! Had a great night and the winds wasn't that bad in the Triton.

    I was going to go get the clicker but I forgot my canteen and didn't want to hike from the front of the Triton all the way back to the console without any water!! That and someone kept saying 'here hold my fish!!' so I was busy!

    Crappie size was nice Tim. Had some very nice slabs but yes Shane had to catch a 5-incher since the drum had lockjaw! I tried to catch a smaller one but Shane insisted he took 'top small fish' for the trip.

    Threw 'em all back and hindsight being 20/20, we would've had plenty for a nice fish fry.

    Do you guys not know how to count without a clicker? Or if you try to mentally keep track is goes something like, 1,2,3,10,11,20,100,...
