Kinkaid 9-17

[mitch26]

Went out to kinkaid for about 3 hours this morning and they were really biting for me. Kept my limit of 25 and probably had another 15-20 keepers on top of that. Majority of the fish I caught were right around 10" and had one close to 15". I've been locating huge schools of baitfish on the graph and once I find them the crappie are stacked up nearby.

I have been wondering with the immense shad populations in all the Southern Illinois lakes it's a wonder the fish would even look at a bait. I mean if you go on an evening when shad are schooling and feeding on the surface it looks like you could walk on them from one bank to the next without gettin' your feet wet.It just goes to show they must be harder to catch for a crappie then you would think. I caught a 14" crappie last Sunday that did not have anything in it's stomach when I cleaned it. Anyway,as healthy as the crappie and bass populations are they aren't putting much of a dent in the shad populations,those things can flat propagate.

were you spider riggin?

Nope fishing addict, I was single poling. Most were caught casting jigs and catching them on the fall. Caught several vertical jigging but majority of those were all small ones. It's been weird over the past several weeks, every time I go out it seems they want a different presentation. Some days vertical jigging, the next floating a jig under a cork then the next I'll be casting for them.
