We arrived on the scene and set up. I had never targeted crappie before, I am not even sure I ever even accidentally caught one. Shortly after we had our lines wet, walleye hunter started laying out paramiters for a bet as to who would get the first fish of the day as he was sure it would be him. "Oh yeah?" said his brother, Ken....
It's a good thing Gil never finished what he was saying! Anwyay, first stirke went to Ken and the rest of the day went well with all of us catching some. I caught my first
and walleye hunter did his part.
Owyn spent time between my heated ice tent and playing with minnows, cleaning holes and talking to the boys. You know, teaching them how to jig.
Sadly, I had to pack up and leave at 3 for birthday party part 2 (Owyn's turn). When I left, we had close to 20 crappie on the ice. Walleye hunter called me with the after report as they were moving down the bay for walleye as I was leaving. After I left, they caught another nice pike in the new spot followed by 4 good walleye around 2 lbs each and two misses! All in all, a nice day for the 8 of us in the gang who were on the ice for the afternoon. The fish fry is planned.... I will post a pick of the heaps of fish walleye hunter (who is a miracle man with food, especially fish) cooks up when our two families get together to chow down!
. You shure did catch some nice crappy.
