Saturday Kayak Plans

What are everyone's Saturday plans for chasing Crappie?

I know I'll be on the water, but haven't decided where yet.

Anyone have a good idea for a skinny water slough or backwater to chase Crappie in?

Ditch have you ever tried the skinny water over behind the old Saginaw Plant off Hwy 31 north side of the river. I have seen some nice bass that have come out of there. Turn off 31 beside Thompson Cat and then first left there is a rough launch on the right....not sure if this water is suitable for spider rigging or would be single pole jigging. I have wanted to give it a try but have not gotten around to it due to working way too much. There is also a lot of skinny water over in the Swan Creek Management Area.

flintcreek,

Lots of Bass and big gills in there, but the moss gets to thick to do much good for the Crappie this time of year. I keep meaning to try it late winter/early spring when the vegetation is dead but haven't gotten around to it. I've pulled several limits from Swan Creek Management area the last few years, good area but fish are very scattered.

I'm hoping to find some new areas since this weekend will be a little cooler.

I tried some new areas today that didn't produce.

I fished Beaverdam Creek at daylight for a couple hours, but only caught 4 Crappie. Mostly I fought the wind. I then move to an old gravel pit on the East side of Limestone Bay. I didn't catch any fish in the gravel pit. Then I moved to the North side of I-565 and tried working up stream on Limestone Creek. I caught several bass and gills, but no crappie. I was only able to get a few hundred yards up stream before the current was too fast to paddle. I didn't wear my hip waders or plan to do any wading and dragging so I turned around.

Still a good morning to be out.
