Wow! Nice crappie.
Hit the road this morning for my favorite crappie hole. Arrived and started fishing at 7:30 a.m. It was a great day. I had over 60 keeper crappie....meaning 10 inches minimum length. The pics are my bigger fish. This spot usually produces much bigger fish....or at least all the fish will be close to the 12 inch mark with many going 13-15 inches. But so far this year that is not the case. It could be an off year for the spot or they have not showed up yet. The water temps were 68 degrees upon arrival but had climbed back to 71 degrees by 1:00 p.m. All my fish caught at a depth of 10-13 feet over 21 feet of water....using a very slow retrieve with a slight twitching motion. The fish are still holding tight to cover....in this case a rock wall. I used a Bison colored Trout Magnet on a 1/32 ounce Crappie Magnet jig head with the #6 hook. The collar on the jig head makes the split tail open up and crappie seem to really like it that way. The rod today was the Major Craft FineTail Banshee Area Trout rod 6' 7". That rod is fast becoming a favorite of mine....just a great action for casting to crappie The line used was 2# test SOS. It was a great day to be sitting on the river bank.......great weather....barely any wind.......beautiful fall colors on the trees in the distance. Have to stay around the house next two days but hope to hit it again Friday. Life is good!
Regards

Nice fish
You're making me jealous. Only fish I've seen lately is at the fish counter at the market.
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
Another fine day!

You have done it again Alpha I'm impressed. I just built a new garage and am now waiting on the power company to inspect. Soon as that's taken care of its fishing time,been too long in this moving to new place. Brought the boat home yesterday and prepared reels with new line I'm ready.
