    Default 5 Gils to 1 Crappie yesterday ( All gils released)


    NOT COMPLAINING, NOT COMPLAINING

    A young kid ( 51 ) in our community asked me, if I would take him Crappie fishing. We finally got together yesterday, I took him where I have been catching many crappies, but yesterday the gils were overpowering the crappies. I would say about 50% of the gils were in the 9" range.

    We had a Great day, kept 6 Crappies and released 32 gils. He said, I'm going to cook these up tonight, but I could go again Friday!

    Water temps 84, calm winds, partly cloudy, using minners and jigs tipped with nibbles. Spider rigging .5mph. Anything with orange on it, the gils absolutely crushed.
    What time is it? IT'S CRAPPIE TIME!

    Harold, thanks for the kind words.

    We moved here just a little over two years ago, I tried and tried, to find someone who would take me fishing, so I remember that. It didn't happen.

    My wife said, I guess you should just go and buy a used boat. Hey, after 44 years of marriage, I have learned NOT to argue with my wife!

    With this forum and many of the members advice , I have learned to catch a Crappie now and then.
    What time is it? IT'S CRAPPIE TIME!

    Marv,
    you have gone above & beyond by helping others learn the art of fishing - adding a new demention to
    their life. You have also found that by doing this it has also brought you closer to what "life is all about"
    and sense of self satisfaction. Keep this up and before long you will have a Crappie fishing group within
    the park...
