    Default The water temps were HOT, the fishing was NOT! lol


    Still trying in Lakeland!

    Yesterday was 90.4 degrees surface water temps! and this old timer out there fishin!

    The last 3 times out for Crappies was 2- 0- and 3. Lots of gils and I have kept a few of the 9 inchers, I'm just spoiled with the Crappie filets.

    Have been doing a little longlining as I can't find enough of them to spider rig for.

    Using jigs tipped with nibbles, tried some crankbaits, but only seem to get bass on them. It sure would be a fun way to fish, might try me some Arkies.
    What time is it? IT'S CRAPPIE TIME!

    The Arkie 220's are a little smaller than the standard sized crank baits. I kinda think that helps catch crappie and not bass. But I don't catch a ton anyway, so who knows.

    I wish I had saved some of your pm's last summer when you were aggravated and ready to throw in the towel. Summer is always tough, but fall is just around the bend. You will be back on em in no time.
