Today was a real blast.
We caught exactly 100. We were getting to the point where we were running out of time, but once we hit 90 my fishing buddy and I wanted to make it an even 100 REALLY bad. We stayed over an hour beyond our regular quitting time but it paid off. My friend Don caught the two biggest fish of the day 1 lb 14 oz and 1 lb 13.5oz at number 98 and 99 and I caught a throwback at 100.
We only kept 17 of the biggest as I have no more freezer space available and Don has enough crappie to eat them three meals a day for a month already.
The bite was hot early... but most of the fish were small. We caught 22 before we got a keeper (we keep only 12 inch and larger). Larger fish were taken north of Bear Island, largest numbers of fish were in the Dead Lake/Crescent Lake channel area.
We caught a double limit of 11 inch fish that we threw back, plus a lot of dinks.
There were a LOT of boats out there today.
Fun day.

PS: Met a nice forum member at the ramp when we were leaving... Forum name Wapphish, and his fishing buddy who's name I did not get unfortunately. They had a good day too.

We were pushing jigs at 4 feet, no minnows. Several colors... color did not seem to matter very much today. I thought white/chartreuse was going to be 'the one', but overall we caught fish on lots of combinations.Originally Posted by Joe

No camera today.

PS: All the fish I cleaned tonight were full of roe. My fishing buddy leaves his on ice and cleans them the next morning, but his are probably full too.

We do not fish the minnow dipping in the shallows technique, even during the spawn, so I really don't track that very well. Maybe one of the Florida regulars can answer that.

Wed. results
Had a fair day. Had 29 keepers and a good number of throw backs. Largest was 1-10. Fished the canal going into Dead lake. Lots of boats. Too rough on the main lake. Fairly tough even in canal. Almost all had roe. Where are the males?

Sounds like you guys have really been getting on them. Im going to give it a try Friday so I will post my results when I get back. Anywhere I could get bait and maybe a map of the lake?
Its Foolish and wrong to morn the men who died, instead we should thank God that such men lived.

You can get both at the boat ramp at Dead Lake. The county gives out a free map... it is not much, but if it is your first time there, it at least shows the major areas.
