Great Day Yesterday

I put my boat in the water and Crappie fished for the first in 6 months due to surgeries. I'm the mend but still have issues with 5 bulging discs in my lower back. Enough about all that.
I called up my friend that fishes with me and helps with the boat and based the the warm weather and knowing the private lakes I fish and said we need to go!!
We headed to a cove where they and bedded before. The depth was 4' and water temp was 64° and the area is full of stumps a submerged logs.
We caught 48 crappie and 2 lrg bream, the crappie were all over a pound and most averaged about 2lbs. All were males with their Tuxedo's on except for 4 females that were holding about 25' back towards 6-8' water. The females eggs were foamy so it will be on for the next 3 or 4 days. We fished with minnows and a RR with a blk and chartruse Joker. The RR's caught more fish then the minnows 2 to 1.

Boy Howdy y’all got em. I know how you feel with that back. I just had an epidural this morning hopefully I’ll be ready to go when the water gets out of the woods down here, if ever does

Glad to see your on the mend and back on the water.

That's one of the best looking coolers of quality Crappie I've seen in a long time. I'd almost rather have a mess of those bull gills though!!

Glad you were feeling like getting out on the water and that is a very nice mess of fish. Looks like the water temps down your way are right.

That's an awesome day, congrats. Nice size, boy am I surprised to see them colored up already. Would have thought few more weeks, but down where you are maybe not.
