Beautiful day to be out fishing. Launched out of Lake Talquin Lodge and was on our fishing grounds by 7:30. Took one of my catfishing tournament buddies out who had never trolled for crappie and he had blast.
Water was REALLY muddy. Morning bite was steady, we had 15 keepers by 10:30. Bite was DEAD from 10:30-1:30. Those 3 hours in the blistering heat was rough without any fish. Afternoon bite was great! We stayed until right at 6 and ended the day with 46 SLABS! Wasn't much room left in the cooler LOL!
I didn't take my normal cooler (which has a measurement lid on it) so we didn't have anything to measure the fish with. If it was even close to 10 inches we threw it back. We would have probably been close to a 2 man limit if we had something to measure them with, but oh well, we got the filleting size slabs.
Females are still deep, and we had to troll deep and at a precise speed!
Expect more crappie reports from me this month from Talquin
