John - Thanks - you're right about the "fat", they're getting ready for winter here. Take a look at the pic below. After you mentioned it I decided to weigh the 13"er when I was filleting him (or her?). 1lb 6oz! This was after losing water weight while in the fridge overnight. I'll post a few pics of the fillets in a bit.......I think I'll make you hungry......

Thanks,V

Thanks - Air temp was about 50. I have 3 different temp gauges on the boat and none match. One on each depth finder and a infared hand held. The temps on the three were between 47.5 and 51.1

MDCrappie,

Thanks for the quick reply. I'd like to 'attempt' another trip, but where I fish is a higher altitude, therefore the temps are cooler. Temps are forecast to fall a bit in the upcoming week (highs in the 40's upstate NY). Plus rain is in the forecast as well

I'd be going. I fish down here (Md) as long as the water's not "Hard". I've had some great days in 35-38 degree water.

Here are some pics as promised.

Might not be the "Best" (tasting) way to fix crappie (It is my wife's favorite) but it is probably one of the "best" ways health wise.

"Seasoned" Fillets....


Ready for the oven.......


In about 30 minutes they will be ready....

now that's what I'm talking about!!!!! ... I need to get out there and catch some fish for the table!!!! :D

If it's not too windy and I'm emotionally stable, I just might give it a shot!

Thanks!
