A nice October afternoon

I found myself with a free Saturday afternoon and decided to spend it in my boat. Open water trips will be ending within the next month probably so you have to take advantage of a nice day while you can.

Today the air temp was in the mid fifties and the water temp was right at 50. I was on the water early this afternoon, by 1:30 I was in my fishing spot. I fished around for an hour before I finally caught a fish. One light biting 12 inch Crappie started the day for me. Then I kept fishing around using different techniques and different jigs.

Trolling seemed to work the best today. I had to sort through quite a few small ones. Which is rare in this spot. I did manage a few nice ones however. It wasn't a great bite this afternoon but it wasn't bad either. Brought a few home for a meal and easily released as many as I kept. Hopefully I will be able to make it out some more before I have to start drilling holes to fish.Attachment 358400Attachment 358401Attachment 358402Attachment 358403Attachment 358404Attachment 358405Attachment 358406Attachment 358407Attachment 358408

All right, nicely done! Glad you got out to enjoy the nice fall day and that the fish cooperated, too! And yes, hard water isn't all that far off.

Wonderful afternoon and great pictures. Those are some real nice Crappies. Best to you before ice-up.

Excellent fish! Congrats!
