First my Smithville report for 5-3 Corporate Challenge - up at 3:45 AM for a 6 AM start, caught one crappie 11" long. Terrible day for fishing. Sad enough it was good for 4th place in Division B. I would call it a successful failure. So I got back to Waldo by 2 PM, and decided to try to write Smithville off the books and I headed over to Prairie Lee. On the water by 3:30 PM, had my limit by 7:30 PM. It was on. All fish were over 9" with some over 11". Using BG slab slayer casting to bank, fish staging in 5-10 fow. Sunday I decided to try my luck at PL again, hit the water by 4 PM, and by 7 PM I had my limit. Same story as Saturday, BG casting to bank, some fish right on the bank, others out to 10 fow. However Sunday I also had help from my girlfriend and her 12 year old daughter, I had them bobber fishing with minnows about 3' down in 5 fow, and they were having enough action to stay interested for nearly 2 hrs before they decided to hit the road. I bet they caught a dozen between them, missed a dozen more, both said it was fun so that made my day! Today I said what the heck, let's go for three limits in 3 days.....no such luck but today I fished from 2:30-6:30 and caught 8 good ones. Fish were way scattered today, some fish I caught in 25 fow, some 10 fow, none on the bank. Wondered what I did so right the past two days! Of all the fish I cleaned in the last 3 days, there was 1 female in each batch, with tight eggs. Where are all the females at PL??? Here's a pick of my haul after Sunday night's limit.
