Sank more brush today...

It's just so addictive:):). I marked some fish out in about 30fow holding around 18-22' but they wouldnt' bite so I dunno what they was. I didn't fish long being it wasn't a very good crappie lake for this time of the year. They should hold some fish later in the Spring/Summer though, I hope. I sank 7 more piles today and it was a cold miserable day out there. Also getting used to my new finder. I had to tell my buddy I cruised over his boo and didn't see any holding in it either. Water was up about 5' and still coming up so I had to add 5' whenever I dropped brush.

Gillham lake and I do wish it had better numbers but when you do catch em there's no culling, they are usually bigger so that's a good thing. I'm getting ready for another OK trip just talked to my buddy and he's ready to get back on em too. Not sure if my jigs will make it in by then but either way we should be able to catch em. Kinda like i've heard from Lake Nimrod I hope we can find a little better sized ones cause after I get 18-20 already in the boat I tend to start culling a little better. Hand cramps of cleaning 75-100 of those little devils will tend to do that to a feller but they sure are fun to catch. I still wanna commend G&F for those 30,000 small crappie they put in the Dequeen lake. Between me and a couple others I know we've got it brushed well for them to survive hopefully.

Constructskeeter , get you a measuring board and start culling anything under 10'' is a good place to start.

Gotta watch that river Gin....use a lotta, I mean lotta weight to keep it in there. I dont' even sink much up in the river channels of the lakes due to that.....We've had it wash out before during a big rise. Now you can hand brush which seems to be a great thing to do. Pick out some already there, solid structure, stump say, and cut big bushy limbs or smaller trees. Tie the weight in the top of it and tie the butt of your brush to the stump as far down as you can reach up stream side then mother nature will wash all kinda junk in there beside it next big rise. I'd use heavy cord or cable also to keep it there, just an idea.
As for the culling that's about the limit, 10" and larger to make the team. I like em kinda small but not too small. Those 11" crappie you can get the grease really hot and bout as soon as you drop em pull em right back out not sure why but fast cooking them like that seems to make them better, maybe it's just because i'm ready to eat usually:biggrin.
