Thread: Pate Lake Crappie....again

Hit the lake again today solo. Instead of trolling 8 rods as I would with 2 people I trolled 4 rods.

Action was consistent and even had doubles one time. Got a new personal best crappie on Pate's today, 14 inch slab, and I actually thought I was hung but knew something wasn't right when that stump fought back .

Boated plenty of fish, probably over 60, but I have high standards as far as keeping them goes. Pictured are the biggest that made the cut.

I've attached a few pics of the lake to show what it's like for the ones who have never been there. It's a fairly small natural lake that fairly shallow. Edged with cypress trees and grass mats.

This lake and I are really starting to get along
