Nice pics, nice fish and nice setup. Keep after em you will figure out them winter fish and when you do it will be on.
Later report due to work being crazy but here it is. Made the decision about a week ago (when the weather channel said it was going to be near 50 degrees) to hit the water with a buddy of mine on Wednesday after a short shift at work. He got to my car about 12:30 with 4 dozen minnows and some snacks, I brought the yaks, rods and gear. Loaded up and headed to Lake Elmdale. got to the lake around 1:15 and after a few pics and getting all the rods rigged up with hit the COLD 39 degree water in the search for a few deep spots full of brush. Only one other boat and apparently he knew where the brush was to and was directly over my best spot. Headed a little farther down the lake and hit a few other spots. Not much going on. This is the first time I've ever fished for crappie in the winter (only been crappie fishing for a yr or so) and it wont be the last time but I will watch the weather a little more. All the fish he caught were in 30-35ft of water and on pink jig heads tipped with minnows. I normaly use 6 rods but due to my hands being so cold I only rigged 4 and wouldnt have them in the water all the time. Jigs didnt produce anything. Ended the day with 2 real nice crappie and 4 other 12 inchers. Heres a few pics of my Commander 120 and my buddy in my gf's Tribe.
