Took a few weeks off from crappie fishing so after looking at a favorable forecast last night (overcast with little wind, moderate temps) I decided to make a run to the lake and see what was happening. Got launched at daylight and after a quick run I had lines in the water at 6:10AM. I trolled for awhile (longlining jigs) without a lot happening. The first hour I think I had caught 7 fish with only 2 of them keepers.

I was pulling 1/16th jigs @ 1.0 to 1.2 mph without a lot of success so I decided to move to a little deeper water and slow down some. That seemed to be the right combination as I started catching fish...having some doubles and triples. Life is good!

Lots of little fish and plenty of keeping sized fish too. Nothing real big but I was catching fish and to me that's all that mattered.





Anyways, fished on until it began getting hot (@ 9:15AM) when the sun popped out. I had already caught way over the limit, culled out the smaller fish, and had a good solid limit in the 'well.

Caught today was 70 crappie....kept 30 and tossed back another 40.



Today was alot of fun. You just have to pick a day when the sun is hid some, it aint raining or windy....and hopefully the fish are biting. Today I fished waters from 12' deep to 20' deep catching some fish at all depths pulling single 1/16th jigs @ 6'-8' deep. Best colors were lighter colored jigs with chart tails but then everything I had out there caught some fish today. And finally....the livewell shot.

Not all of them were little, some nice size fish in the well. Those med/large fish make good eating. Thanks for the report and pictures

30 limit is nice WTG. persistance and adjusting to conditions is what it's all about this time of year. hunt em up till you find the pattern.
