After 5 days of rigging new G3 1648 jon boat,,hit the water this morning at 7am long lining jigs and tubes with crappie nibbles,,for a hour caught about 20 mostly under 10,,several over 9" crappies,,kept 6 over 10-11" then switched out the rods, to my trolling bandit gear..and picked up another dozen mostly all females 11 to 13.5" . Trolling speed was 1.4 to 1.8mph, depth of the bandits were 8' with most of the 12 and up size picked up in 10-11 ft of water in the bays. Water temp was 72 starting out on this foggy morning and when I got off lake at noon it had climbed to 77 or so. The 16 keepers that I kept,,6 which were all 10-11 were males, rest were all females chocked full of eggs and the 6 biggest came out of 10 ft of water so they are getting ready to spawn I am guessing. Mad Cow and a blue gill color was the hotties. Probably caught 60 or so fish total. Crazy fishing on the Cat.
