Saturday-Chick Lake-53 crappie.

I decided to pay Chick Lake a visit and ended the day with 53 crappie of which the vast majority were 10"-11". Only a few were under 10" and I also had a few at 12" but they were rather skinny and the biggest only went 15oz.

The weather was perfect for late August.

Most were caught casting on either Kalin's Money Jig or a Pearl BGBS with a few on Cajun Cricket and Blue/Pearl. Not too many on my two poles hanging over the side. Most crappie were caught 4'-7' down in water near 10' deep. The morning bite was a lot better than the afternoon bite. From 3:00-5:00 I only caught 3 crappie so I left.

I showed water temp at 75-78 and had the pleasure to meet doodle at the boat ramp.

Good report, Tap..:fish:ThumbsUp

very nice report...I had to stop by there this AM. No fishing, but the lake looked nice with not nearly the aquatic vegetation that normally chokes it this time of year. Your pic kind of agrees.

Nice catch with pic

nice catch,,did you see how they are coming along with the damn work,and locks

Good catch Tap. I'll be ready to start fishing again this week after I see the Doc, it's been over 10 weeks. Were most of your fish caught on brush?

The dam doesn't look much different to me as it did when I was last there three months ago.

Most were on brush while a few were scattered.

No problem with FAV.
