• Caught a Handful on Wheeler

    I took my kayak out this morning and scratched together a mess. I finally caught a little current flowing out of the creeks. I probably caught them about 50/50 on jigs and minnows. I only had about 12-15 minnows left over from a trip a week or two ago. I ran out right about the time they stopped pulling water - about 10am. Didn't catch much on my jigs after that but I think it was the lack of current. I cleaned 11 (and let one more good fish flop out of the cooler and swim off). Most were just over 10" but a couple were 12-13". I caught every one off the same tree about 6' deep in 12 fow.




    Thanks everyone! Yeah, I think that little one is the smallest crappie I've ever seen. That little sucker inhaled my jig too.

    I went back today for a follow up trip. I brought 8 more home and probably should have had 3 or 4 more that I let get off. The weather forecast said 10% chance of rain. I think it rained on me all morning. I had to pull the scupper plugs in my kayak to drain water out.
