The Crappie Are Getting Ready For Fall Crappie Camp - Are You?!?!?

**Jerry Blake** · 10-07-2007, 06:13 PM

The crappie are finally starting to settle in on our Bamboo Crappie Condos and biting a bit better.

Our average size was a lot better today than it has been lately and we caught several on jigs without tipping them with minnows so that's a good sign.

Darryl's crew had a great trip too!

All we need now is some cooler weather. Surface temp got up to 81-degrees by 1:00 and it felt a lot more like July than October out on the water. The extended forecast is looking good - hope they are right:

Jerry,

Glad yall did better than us today, we took a zero but had a good time any way. Kaetcin Katie the Pan Fish Princess managed to kill a few Cokes in glass bottles and catch a few dink perch. We did graph fish but they were tight lipped suckers, I think the bassers had them spooked.

I had a great time fishing with my good friend Keith "Catfish" Sutton (http://www.catfishsutton.com/), his wife and another couple this morning.

We fished for bass with live crawfish and Kastmaster spoons early and then went after the crappie. We had several periods of real good action.

I guess the bigger crappie got their bellies full while we were chasing bass but the 8 to 12-inchers were still real hungry. We (I let Keith clean most of them) cleaned 49 fish and estimated we released at least 20 small crappie and bass.

They were a bit slower today with a strong cold front passing through but we still got a decent mess.

Same crew tomorrow and we're going after the biguns!

Outstanding pics Jerry!
I took Russ and Jeff fishing from Midwest Crappie. They were a class act and a blast to fish with! They had nothing but nice things to say about you! We managed to catch 20 crappie most over 13", it should make a good show! It will be shown in o9'.

Hey Jason:

Thanks!

Russ and Jeff are a lot of fun to fish with and Russ puts out a real good show that you'll be proud of.

The smaller crappie have turned on here and I'm hoping the better ones will start real soon.

I've been noticing the good stringers you've been bringing in so I now things will pick up here soon. I'm ready for this cool-down the Weather Guessers are promising.
