Thread: Caught my first crappie ever today. Lake Wylie 04-08-2018

We probably missed 6 other crappie in that spot. At the end of the day we had 2 crappie, 2 catfish, and 11 small white perch. I was thankful that we finally were able to get on some, and that I caught a crappie. On another note, we went out on the 6th and the water was absolutely not as warm as it was today. Im almost positive that the rain coming from the south is what warmed up the water so much. We were finding temps close to 70 further back in the coves. It was a good day in my book, I got done what I wanted to.

Good stuff!!

First Crappie Ever?!?!? Congratulations!! It only gets fun from here on out!!

Congrats buddy. Crappie are fun catching and fine eating.

Glad you got the skunk out of the boat now continue doing what you are doing and it will only get better. Good luck with the crappies

Well Done! Just know you're hooked for life now....one of the best sport/table fishes in the world.

Welcome to the fantastic, fickle world of crappie fishing...the adventure begins.

Glad you found a few willing to bite and also, I'm glad you took to a cork and got close to shore like mentioned! You'll do better in a few days if you stay on them and keep up with their movement.

Woo hoo! Glad you caught some. Like bigdawg said, stay after them. It should only get better where you were at.
