    Fishing started slow on long lines until I added 1/2 oz slip sinkers ahead of a 30" leader and pulling Blue and Chartreuse and Pink and Chartreuse Sliders 23' behind the boat at 1.1 mph. Fishing this new setup started out with a bang having two or three 13" to 15" crappie on at a time. Fishing was great and by 10:30 I had over 25 13" to 17" crappie in the box, more then I needed so I took all the large egg filled females and put 10 to 15 back in the lake to reproduce for another year

    There's a stainless sink and 1 hp grinder on other end makes cleaning a snap. I used all stainless because of mold easy to keep clean and will last

    I put 10 to 15 large females back into the lake and only tried to keep spawned out fish but when trying to catch them in my live box easy to miss a couple out of the swimming fish, There were only 3 with roe when I cleaned them, about 50% of total I caught were spawned out. The day before I caught several males with their tails damaged from fanning the eggs, they were back in deep water.
