Took the new boat out on Jacomo Sunday morning to do some crappie fishing. Don't know water temp, but it didn't take long to figure out they just aren't on the banks yet. So I moved out a little off shore and started with a slip bobber set down around 9-10ft deep. Pumpkin/chart garland minnow minders with a nibble. That's exactly where the crappie were at.
Caught 10 or so, spent some of the time just running around, looking at laydowns and other structure that I could see. Given where the fish were, and that they were painted up, I'm betting by next weekend, they will either be on the banks, or in the 4-6ft depth, and a lot easier to find.
I was straight across from the main marina, up into sailboat a bit, and the cove right next to the marina. Wind finally got up enough where it was too much. So I left.
First boat I've had that "legally" is under the HP rating.
