Tville Easter Eve
First day I’ve made it on the water this year due to a hectic work schedule and boat issues. After replacing the bearing carrier, and a failure to my 360 transducer, I finally dunked the ol girl in the drink. Today was basically an operations check, but I ended up catching 50 or so crappie and three really nice hybrids. I didn’t even have to bust out the ol Frabill to measure these. I can assure you they were all short of 10”. Sad state of affairs from how amazing it was last year. For what it’s worth I was trolling orange/chartreuse Bobby G’s tipped with minnows..20-40 feet of water fishing 10-15 feet deep. I generally fish in areas without much traffic, relying on fancy electronics as a necessity to avoid being crowded, and I literally caught fish on every treetop I found, but they were all short. This fall should be fantastic, most of the fish looked between 9”-9.5”.

At least your back on the water!
I’m glad you got out.

I don't know about that, BCO .... last Fall I found schools of Crappie on standing timber, about everywhere I looked, and they were 9-9.5" back then. :Doh:
I think we're just going to have those years of 11-14" fish about every 3-4yrs ... :dono ... hope I'm wrong.

I would have loved to catch some crappie that size today. Went out on Beaver, got skunked.

The last time I remembered a really good Taylorsville catch of larger fish was
in the fall after the spring where it stayed flooded real bad and wasn't fished much.
I really do believe the mass turn out has had a severe effect on it.
It's not going to change in the near future.
