Prairie Lee - Finally

Got my skunk off my back this afternoon at Prairie Lee! Went after work from 5-8 PM. Caught 14 decent (for Prairie Lee standards) crappie, all between 9-12 inches, not a single 5 incher dink to speak of, which never happens. I caught them all in about 5 fow which is about as close to the bank that they get at PL, casting to the bank and reeling back in slow, BG slab slayer purple/pink with orange jig head. Just like that, the spawn seems to be on at PL. 7 males and 7 females thick with eggs. Only 3 other boats out. Oh yeah the re-coil spring broke on my pull-start-only motor but I caught fish so I wasn't that upset. Not having my motor for a couple weeks while its in the shop will get on my nerves here in about 2 days I'm sure. Get out there KC, it's on.

Nice job. Thanks for the report

Good Job, Bernie. Hey, isn't PL where you dropped those trees? Have you tried them out at all?

I was sure it would happen! congrats!

Yeah Joe I fished those trees in early April and again last Friday the 18th. They ended up being in water anywhere between 7-20 feet deep, so a good range of water. I soaked minnows around them for over an hour and didn't get a tap, water was 53 degrees. Last night the water was 63 degrees and that seemed to trigger the fish to move up shallow. I was having enough action along the bank I was fishing last night that I never made it over to the doc where I dropped them.

Does Prairie Lee still have issues with the septic systems of the houses around the lake flowing into it?
