Lets get this Crappie thing started

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Lets get this Crappie thing started

Post by Out4trout »

Tuesday after supper, time for a recon mission to a creek feeding a back lake. The thermometer showed water temp 42F, a bit below the optimal. But just before leaving... a faint circular ripple appeared... :idea:

A quick cast, the thill immediately tipped 45 and slid sideways... :D

First feed of spring Crappie for 2015

Sizes ranged from 9-12", this 10 1/2 being typical

It's ON

Dandy haul there, and real good size. Way to go man. Doesn't surprise me at all at the late bite, specially this early.

Cheers
