I always seem to do OK at monroe under these types of conditions. Most likely because I know the lake very well. Also, maybe because there is so much underwater structure that the crappie sit on. ...

It was the same depth I remembered over the summer last year. water was indeed pretty muddy. Tons of floating debris north of the bridge. I still saw a couple of brave guys in bass boats ripping...

Thanks all. loading up the boat now. heading that way just before dawn. I'll report back. Those tips are helpful. I did find out when i went last year that it was different than what I am used...

Mine too. I never did quite understand why people choose to switch hands between the 2. to each their own I guess.

Much appreciated. I found that same link yesterday. I just wasn't sure if I could trust it. Do you think I should avoid racoon tomorrow? it's the most convenient for me as I store my boat out west...

Thinking about going to racoon lake (cecil harden) tomorrow. Is that what you mean by "coon"? I am curious what you mean by back to normal. Anything I should know before I decide to head that way?...

Finally getting out on the water for the first time of the year tomorrow. Thinking about going to racoon. Has anyone been out recently? any luck? Is the water back up to summer pool yet?

I built a BFS setup around a curado BFS. It's a lot of run to use. I can cast very accurately with it. It's currently spooled up with 18lb braid, as I find anything thinner will allow the line to...

This is the lake I fish the most. It's a beautiful lake, but the fishing has been miserable for the last few years. I have a few spots where I know I can catch a limit of small one (just barely...

My PB is a small 1.4lb. a friend has a 3lber mounted on his wall and it doesn't even look real to me. almost cartoonish. Sounds like so much fun to catch. I definitely need to get down there.

We are renovating our house and I finally get a dedicated tackle room which I am pretty pumped about. I am still struggling to find rod racks that I am happy with that aren't super expensive. I...

My pops like to bobber fish with minnows. I prefer to cast or dangle jigs with soft plastics. neither of us really enjoys trolling much. I do prefer fishing structure as opposed to searching for...

I should have mentioned that I am in no rush. we have a 2 week Wisconsin trip coming up in a couple of months. This trip will most likely be this fall or next spring. I just want to get a VRBO...

I live in Indiana, where small crappie are plentiful, but slabs have been hard to come by for years now. I am looking at taking my pops on a crappie fishing vacation. If we wanted our best chances...

So far this spring my best luck has been under docks and around docked boats. However, tiny ones is about the best I am able to do. what is your strategy for finding the big ones? are the in the...

Nice fish! I still have never broken 2 lbs. This year will be the year, I can feel it.

Just makes me want to go fishing even more. I am working from home trying to keep the business alive, and watching my 6 year old son at the same time. Looking forward to a quiet day on the lake is...

I am not positive that my depth finder is correct. It is a new boat and new depth finder. Entirely possible that is reads a couple of degrees high. I'll try and remember an actual thermometer next...

Thanks. Just to clarify, should I be looking for 56 in the main body or in the areas where I expect the spawn? At Monroe I was getting 56-57 in some of the coves east of the causeway, but only 52-55...

This give me hope, Ill try to get back out next week or weekend when the water goes down a little and see if they are up in shallow water schooled up again. My 2 favorite lakes used to churn out...

I was thinking to myself, "I sure I wish I had an inflatable kayak on my boat so I could get up in the trees". The scattering makes sense. I couldn't find any schools of anything other than bait...

Spent a beautiful day on the lake yesterday, but got skunked. In my experience the crappie should be be spawning right now in central Indiana. However the lake I have been fishing is about 10'...

Finally got the new boat (2020 Lund Impact XS 2025) on the water for the first time. Caught a few small crappie and froze my butt off. The Ulterra trolling motor and the Hummingbird Helix is going...

Nice to meet you! I am glad to be here. I grew up crappie fishing and eating with my dad. I have spent the last 20 years only getting to fish when I could get away from work and find a friend with...
