Thread: Any action at Mississinewa lately ?

That lake is full of 9" to 10" crappie this year. Must be in one of those cycles they talk about. Next year and the year after should produce some really nice fish. Plan on hitting the lake Saturday.

Fished yesterday evening up at the dam on lake side. Word is deffinitely out....4 boats and 5 guys on the bank there Just along the dam.Could see people on bank every spot i looked. Caught 20 to 25 id say..kept 13. 3 of em were 12 inch fish the rest were 10s. Could only get them to hit jigs being casted and retrieved. Taking the weekend off from there and gonna try one last time to get a turkey instead. Oh yeah if u need minnows woodys has been out for 3 days now of crappie minnows...only have shiners snd they were low on them yesterday.

Wow. I wonder how many limits of 9" and under fish have been taken this year :rolleyes: I may skip the dam and hit some back coves tomorrow .

I did better earlier this week when fishing the coves up by red bridge. Tried the dam yesterday simply because it was closer. I usually do better at dam near the end of the spawn. First 2 fish were 12 inch white females and then it got slow for a while. Guy in a boat came down told me he limited at opposite end of dam. He offered to pick me up and take me down there but it was late and i was getting ready to leave.

Haven't been up there since last weekend. Did they spawn out? I didn't think the eggs in ones I cleaned looked ready.

Well, the lake/dam was a bust yesterday. Not sure if it was the weather or just me, though I didn't see a lot of people tearing them up either. Managed four keepers in a few hours and a handful of sub 9" fish. Not the day I was expecting. With 5 straight days of rain and 80* weather coming, be hard to tell what will happen next. That's all I have for now.
