When I launched at 8AM I was expecting a TERRIBLE day when I saw the water temp at 45*. Saw a bunch of fish and dropped lines.....NOTHING! They wouldnt bite. Kept right on trolling moving out of the creek. After awhile I finally hit a spot and caught a few so I kept circling and wound up catching sll my fish within a 300 yard stretch in that one spot. I dont think I ever had two on at a time more than 2 or 3 times. But atleast I was catching.
After awhile I decided enough was enough so I pulled my lines in and got ready to go to the house. Total fish pulled in the boat was 50 (one more bit after removing the clickers)...

Threw back alot of 10" fish I could have kept but didnt need em. The big girls are starting to show up too and that's why I LOVE January and Febuary fishing...

I would guess that 3/4 of the ones I cleaned were males. As with every year that Ive been crappie fishing it seems the water warms a bit so the fish will bite and then another cold snap rolls through. I guess that's why the spawn aint until mid/late March. Anyway...enough talk. Here's the livewell shot...
