Actually, we had 62, and they were not crappie on Jordan. With good advice from JC, (Speckle75) and having Tony (Redboat) as our guide, we had an outstanding day catching Yellow (Racoon) Perch on the North River. We launched from Coinjock, so we were only a couple of miles from the Currituck Sound, but went up the North River. The YP are the first fish to spawn in the year and are bunched up in the shallows (7'-8'). Started with minnows and jigs, but ended up all minnows. Bought 20 dozen just to make sure and ended up with a few left over. With a fairly small mouth, you're going to lose some of the fish at the boat.

I was amazed at how many eggs the females have in them. Ounce for ounce, they have more eggs than any fish I have ever cleaned. Never had YP to eat, so looking forward to a good mess.

A number of us talk about how much we like the crappie tournaments. This trip would never have happened without my participating in the Jordan Crappie tournaments. The friendship and connections pay off in trips such as this.

Sun getting low on the horizon and what a beautiful day. Just doesn't get much better than this.
