Blue skies, no wind, and heat, arghh, but........

I still managed two at 14.25" and 1lb 9oz.



I started at Lake Prince today and told myself that if I did not have 25 crappie by noon that I would move over to Western Branch. Well, at 11:50 I got number 25 so I stuck with Prince but the afternoon was brutally slow and I only got 15 more for a total of 40. I was stuck on 39 forever and finally got #40 and decided to head home which normally takes me around 40 minutes. Well, that 40 minutes turned into an hour and a half as 58 east was blocked due to an accident. banghead

Anywho, most the crappie I caught were 10' down but shifted to 13' down later in the day. One of the big ones was caught casting a pearl BGBS and the other one oddly was caught 20' deep with a wasshoppah tipped with a crappie nibble. I say oddly because I typically only catch smaller crappie 20' deep. Quite a few today were 11" and good fighters. Most were caught casting and I had luck with pearl, pink, hot pink/pearl, Key Lime Pie, and Albino Shad BGBS. I was in the mood to experiment with different colors. Not many vertical jigging the wasshoppah.

Blue skies and no wind made fishing difficult.



I really prefer a breeze when we have blue skies but that was not to be today. Surface water temp was 80-84.

Lots of FAV on the water. A bit of a pain. I guess it was from the storm last night.
