Elevens & twelves on the 13th

My buddy Paul and I hit Taylorsville yesterday, and after a short rain delay we launched. Luckily it wasn't a madhouse at the ramp, since there was a houseboat beached on the ramp, making it a narrow 2 lane ramp.

Murky water conditions with water temps that ranged from 58-63deg thru the day.

We cast the banks with Road Runners & Sliders .... with Road Runners accounting for all the keepers. Hot Pink Road Runners (custom made by Skip @ Thump-it Jigs) were the ticket. Most of the Crappie we caught were seriously committed to munching the RR's ... we had zero "lip hooked" fish !!

All 13 of our keepers were in the 11 to 12 inch range ... mix of male/female White Crappie and the occasional Black Crappie.



Paul's 12" male Black Crappie ....



When we got back to the ramp to trailer the boat they were dragging the houseboat onto a flatbed ... and by the time we got the boat ready for the trip back home the houseboat had already been dropped on the ground at the overflow parking lot at the top of the hill (Settlers Trace). Houseboat had severe damage to the bow end and appeared to have been sunk at one time.
