Thread: Ditto gravel pit

I took my kayak down to the gravel pit west of Ditto landing and Hwy 231. The Crappie were hitting little shad at daylight, looks like there was a huge shad spawn in the last few days.


Hopefully you can see the photo of the shad on top of the water.

I fished from 5:00AM till around 10:30AM catching well over 200 hundred fish and I can’t imagine how many I missed or lost. I started out trying to drag jigs with 5 rods, but had to drop to three and still had fish on all 3 rods several times. I lipped so many Crappie taking them off the hook that I ended up with both thumbs bleeding. I kept a limit of Crappie all over 10 inches and a dozen bluegill. I’ll take a better photo later this afternoon when I clean fish if I can remember. I left with the fish still hitting, but it was starting to get warm.



Get on the water, find the baitfish and you’ll find the Crappie. All the Crappie still looked surprisingly health and fat considering the hot weather. This pit doesn’t have any water deeper than 5 feet currently.
