Short crappie trip 3/01/23

Jay W and I got out for a short am crappie search. We started about an hour after the movement period and I caught a nice keeper on first cast. The next 45 minutes yielded our other 3 keeper crappie. I had a little largemouth slimy green fish aka bass. We saw 6 deer playing along the shoreline.

if we had known that the crappie were going to quit biting so soon, we may have rethought our plans for the day. I have a couple of things to do or we could have stayed longer. Floating fishing in 4-5 feet of water. I know this was short and sweet, but I committed to post more on Cdc.

Good pics. Not sure if it's a good thing to catch on the first cast. Thanks for sharing.

Nice catches

At least y’all got out and didn’t get skunked. Congratulations and thanks for sharing

Nothing like being out on the lake !
thanks for sharing!
same here had 6 the first hour and then it was pretty much over !
noting to do today so 6 hours later only 1 more keeper and a green fish !

To be honest, trollers are having a grand time with the crappie right now but all you guys know that I don’t troll or use live bait while fishing for crappie. The fish are scattered right now which makes trolling the way to go if you want to catch a bunch. But a few of the crappie are exploring the shallows and in a few more days they will be there big time. Grin.

Hopefully I will get after them Saturday morning
