We fished from 08:30 to 4:00. We just couldn’t find anycrappie or get any to bite till about 10:00. We only caught a total of 20, but countless yellow perch and gills. Biggest fish of the day was a 15 1/4 crappie.All fish were caught on a new type of jig and plastics I just made. I thinkI need some fishing lessons from tear em up.

Mike,

That's a real nice crappie for the area you were fishing. I was in their yesterday and also today. Got 42 fish yesterday and 87 today. Only 3 crappie over 10" and nothing close to 15. We did get a good number of keeper yellow perch today.

Rob,

Went out this morning for a couple of hours. Fished from the shoreline only caught 5 crappie , 10 gills, 1 bass, and 1 yellow perch. I wanted to stay till the front moved in, but lack of sleep was getting to me.

Mike - I did get this guy in the next arm over, I'm pretty sure you will recognize the background. He ate a Midsouth Glow Tube. Pretty nice fight on my 5' Mr Crappie rod.

Rob,
I bet that carp was a fun time. I recognize that area. I wentthis morning in the wind. I only caught a couple with a few gills. Tried another spot and caught about 25 gills. Some were nice size like this one.

I see you made the fish stay "tight lipped" about that new bait you're using. Lightweight head (1/32) is key in that area for success.

He wouldn't let go. It's an ice jig with micro plastic tail. Head is painted pearl and kind of spoon shaped.
