• Crescent Beating

    We went up Friday morning & fished Crescent to try & find some good fish. Friday was a good day we had around 10.5 lbs in 7 fish just fishin from 9:30 am to 1:30pm. It was prolly the best weather I've ever experienced at Crescent as far as the wind goes but it was very chilly both Friday & Saturday. Sorry no pics of specks just forgot to take any on Friday & Saturday was very rough, here's what the lake looked like at 7AM & it got worse through the day until about 4PM.

    For those of you that fished the slabtogether on the 11th, that was nothing compared to these conditions we had water over the front & back of the boat several times.

    Crappielover you'll like this, we were able to put a saltwater fish in the boat from Crescent, caught this 19" Redfish. I think he thought he was in the ocean too, he was released back to the water after a picture.

    Anyway we tried to stay in Crescent on Saturday as long as we could & caught a few fish. Ended up goin to Dead Lake to find some calmer water, caught some more good fish but no big ones. We weighed in under 7 lbs & ended at 23rd place but it was an accomplishment to weigh in 7 fish with what we were dealt.
    Congratulations to the winners & all that braved the rough conditions of wind & cold.

      I was there and the pictures don't do the conditions any justice, It was much worse than they look.

      I always enjoy the stories and reports from my favorite body of water. And wish I could report more catches of crappie, I end up with bass an catfish, but I throw back all of the Garrrrr! very good read.
