I had a Crappie New Year

Buddy and I put in at Coffman this past Sunday. We caught 60-70 fish, but finished the day two short of our two man limit and most of those came from two docks. Several of my favorite docks didn't produce a fish for us so we had to find some new water. They also didn't have the shad hanging around like they usually do. Blue/white and blue ice were best colors. Never did really figure out if they were shallow or deep in the water column as we seemed to catch fish a foot under docks down to the bottom in 30' on brush. There were a lot of boats out that day so I wouldn't doubt if most of my docks didn't get hit already before we got to them. Overall size was down compared to when I went a few weeks ago, but I did manage to catch one 13.5" black with some shoulders.

Looks like a good mess. Good pictures and good report.

Great way to start the year!

Good report!

If I ever finish deer hunting this year I may find some of those too. Congrats.

That is what I call a slab. Nice fish. Thanks for the report and pictures.

Nice slab to start the year!! Congrats on a good day fishing.

Way to start of a New Year. I had the tradition to fish every January 1 morning. Superstitious I would have a bad fishing year if I didn't go. Now I'm two straight years without a Jan 1 fish.
Awesome haul for the first day out. To Many more good fishes in 2017.

Great way to start the year

Nice mess of fish there.
