Temperature was 28 degrees at 7:15am, brrrr. Was up to 30 degrees at 9:20am when I left the house with the boat. Got on the water and fished from 10:00a-1:15p, started picking up fish on the finder 3-7 feet over 8-10 FOW. So I go anchor in the honey hole and it was fish right off the bat. 1/16 oz minnow jighead with firetiger rib grub (the one bait I got fish on the 3 other different colors and sizes of Jigs). Needless to say most of the crappie were under 9", atleast 24 of them and about 6 that were over 12"s. Along with 6 gills over 8" and 3 that were less.

The fish were mostly down 4-5 feet if not right next to bottom. But the best method is to let it sink all the way and start working it or sink 1/2 way and start working it. Bouncing the rod tip, reeling and then pausing can trigger a strike too.

Not many pictures this trip but some big'ns.

All C.P.R.'d to fight again next week.

Now that was a fun cold day on the water, can't wait for ice and the numbers are just going to increase. One can only hope.

BTW, I was using an 8' UL with 6# mono, what fun, and own neting job. :D

Fish On!

I'm in a Canada - American fishing tourney and the mail bag was to show that I was in on the American team for the fish to count. :D I know it looks weird, but I didn't bring my red, white, blue, t-shirt with me. Plus it was way to cold for a t-shirt.

So I had to imporvise.

Good looking fish. Thanks for sharing the pics with us. I agree with some of the others though, you can keep the ice and the cold as far as I'm concerned.
