With the good weather the last two days I had hopes that the crappie might be up in the channels near home so prepped the boat and burned a vacation day today.

There were loads of bass, a few pike and schools of undersized crappie & gills. The local shop doesn't have minnows yet so I tried plastics. Only a couple of throwback crappie. Made a couple of trolling passes for pike, no takers.

Cooler weather ahead for the duration of the coming two week forecast so it'll be a good time to get more dog work in.

A poor day of fishing still beats the best day I've ever had at workFirst outing of season, skunked
