Pomme 1/31/18

Made it to Pomme for the first time since the summer for a couple hours of fishing this afternoon.

Fished standing Timber near a river channel in 45 fow, fish all over the place from near the bottom to 15ft.

Had 7 or 8 by dark, 5 that were just barely legal to keep, and a cigar walleye. Purple/chart slab buster (thanks for that recommendation beagle man) 1/16 oz jig, drop it to the bottom reel up slow a few inches at a time, pause, thump.

MDC report shows that the crappie population is up 5x what it was in 2014. Means good things for the years to come.

Water was 38* and fairly clear

Went again tonight and ending up keeping 7 and threw back a dozen or more shorts in a couple hours.

Two were 11+ inches, the rest were 9-10.

They definitely wanted it moving today, cast 20ft past the structure, let it sink, reel in really slowly or just let the bait pendulum towards you. BGBS in live minnow worked the best this time.
