    Default Crappie Day at Hodges 4-26 w/pics


    Hi all,

    I'm new to this site but since I had a pretty good day at Hodges, I figured I share the report. In all, I got 18 crappie and 1 good sized bluegill and I fished from about 6:30AM to 11:30AM.

    I got them all on the troll using a deep diving crankbait and road runners setup tandem on the line. Most of the fish were around 1.5lbs. with the biggest one just shy of 2lbs. I had a lot of multiple hookups today which is challenging when you are fishing by yourself. I lost a few fish but oh well. I actually got my first double hookup on the tandem roadrunners. At first I thought I had snagged with all the weight. The lone bluegill was super scrappy as he destroyed the crankbait and actually peeled off some drag on my baitcasting reel:D

    The weather was really nice until 11AM when the typical wind picked up. It will be really fun once they find their way up in the shallows.

    Looks like a nice day got some nice slabs there! I have a question for you the last photo looks like a fish cleaning station is that at Hodges I didn't know they had one there. It sure is nice to be able to clean them slabs at the lake.

    BTW we should hook up and do some fishing sometime. PM me.

    Hey Milo, I actually went to Dixon to clean those fish. Good job noticing that. I had no desire to clean 19 fish in my backyard.

    I tried to catch the crappie bite at Henshaw but I got skunked That place turned off as fast as it turned on.

    We'll definitely get together and slay them.

    Eric
