    Default Another good morning


    A friend and I planned to fish this morning but woke to thunder and lightning and rain. After hashing it over we decided that as long as we were fishing from shore, what the heck and went in spite of the rain. By the time we hit the lake the rough stuff was past and rain was the only issue but rain gear kept it at bay. On each of our first casts a crappie was caught and that pretty much eliminated any headaches the rain had with it. And things just got better.

    All in all we landed in the neighborhood of 80 crappies, a pair of really nice sunfish and three smallies. Not bad for 3 1/2 hours of dodging raindrops. Not one of the crappies would be considered too small to keep with literally all of them between 11 and 12 inches. Nothing longer, nothing shorter. One of the sunfish was pushing 11 inches. The largest of the smallies fell in line at 16 inches with its two brothers slightly smaller.



    Here's a nice picture of an average of today's fish.

    Nice catch. Heating up here in Michigan, too. I got out Monday for some shore fishing and me and a buddy ended up with 44 plus several largemouth. All crappie were 9-10 and the biggest bass was 22".

    Windier than heck here today....high wind warnings and advisories all over the place. Much cooler too. The rain from the night before last , yesterday and last night have no-wake warnings on the lake today with more water expected today and tomorrow. All of this will shoot the good crappie bite in the foot.

    Dutch had some health issues that kept him from the ice this year and part of last summer/fall even. He's been pretty quiet. I have no idea how things are with him but do hope the best. Dutch and I have never met but thru a couple websites have gotten to know each other well. I know the man is a master at picking apart lake's shore fishing.
