Me and my buddy Chad went out this mornin and killed em. Caught a 100 by 11 am, fished till 1 pm culling out some of the smaller ones, caught em all on crickets in 5 fow, been catchin em like this for over a month now, wonder how long its gonna last? It doesnt make and sense to even try and catch a crappie when the bream are biting like this.

nice
Great job!!
Ok, so I guess I need to push that weekend trip with you up. What you got planned at this weekend? I think I might try and clear a spot open....? Great job, How was the cleaning?
Wow! Just like the full moon of May! Details man! DETAILS!;):D:D
I dont have anything planned, come on down cuz. the cleaining wasnt too bad, my buddy got 50, and i took 50 so i didnt have to clean all 100 by myself. im getting a new lower unit on my boat friday so as long as its ready we can go saturday mornin, if not im sure it will be ready saturday and we can just go sunday mornin.Quote:

The fish are scattered all around this area we been fishin, we just catch 20 or 30 here, move a lil and do the same. They were not caught on the bank though, all in open water. cant buy a fish on the bank, gotta get out away from it.Quote:

Yeah i could prob spend all day in the 100 plus heat and catch a few specks or....... i can go bream fishin, catch my limit and be home by lunch. hmmmmmm... which makes more sense? when it cools off and the specks start back i will be the first one out there but until then im happy with puttin fish in the freezer. (no matter what species) I love fishing, not just crappie fishing.Quote:

When its 102 in the shade....I tend to get very undedicated.:p Easy is good sometimes, Lol :D
Man if the gills were hitting like that and I really had to work to catch a few crappie I'd catch gills!!!!!!!!! nice mess of fish

If all "dedicated crappie fisherman" act like you i hope i NEVER become one. what do the rest of you fellas think? is it really that easy to catch a hundred big gills before lunch? maybe it is.Quote:

If you're using 3 poles per person and live crickets, you're doing something wrong... very wrong if you don't!Quote:

Ha ha ha....the fish don't care if its primitive.......and I don't either when I am eating them, Lol. :D
yeah taste the same so i dont care
i use 3 poles so i can get the limit quick, go home, clean the fish, and be home with my wife and newborn son some of the day. I will be deployed next year to either afghanistan, iraq, or someother godforaken place and wont be able to fish for 8 months to a year. So... i dontlike to waste my time on the water battling to catch a few crappie when i can catch a buttload of fish somewhere else.
try using mussles they eat them up
I was just aggravating y'all:D I'm actually jealous! I've been sick with pneumonia for the past month and haven't been able to get out... and probably would lower myself to fishin' for Bluegills right now:eek:... but I wouldn't use live bait!:p I'd use a 1/16 or 1/8 oz. Roostertail and tear them a new one!;)
its fine, no harm. Good luck if ya decide to go.
Hope ya get well soon GCD.
i love bluegills and crappies.just when its hot out i don't do good with crappies.if i can catch em i will tho.when i go,i go for whatever is biting and hope to catch crappies and bluegills.i haven't eaten any crappies since april :( and i want some slabs so bad!i got bluegill fillets in the freezer tho which still makes me happy :D and GCD i agree with you when it comes to live bait.i don't use it much anymore.there is absolutely nothin more fun than fightin nice gills on a flyrod using a fly i tied!also like to throw small plastics at em and pieces of troutworms.btw nice mess of fish you got there!here the limit is only 25,nj sux,but whats new :rolleyes: but than again i think 25 is plenty enough for me and i don't usually limit out anyway.10 good gills is good nuff really,god bless
Young Gun,i wish you and your family well!

You have a seat and a floatatoin device in my boat anyday,anyday BRO.
Thank you for what you GUY'S DO!
