You Ain't gonna Believe This!

I finally got out for a little over 2 hrs this evening. I caught 18 nice crappie in about 15' of water. What you're not gonna believe is out of the 18, 10 were females & full of eggs. :eek: I also had males that were still dressed up in their tuxedos.

Congratulations on the Crappie, yeah this year has been crazy for sure.

I hope to get out on the lake in a few days.

u da man!

I only caught 4 of those where I talked to you & dux. I moved & got into'um in another spot out further. Man they were aggressive! They knocked the fire outta that jig!

Can't catch em if you ain't out there!

Way to go! Hopefully that will take some of the bad karma away that you might have had for the last couple of weeks. LOL

Hooked up this week buy might try it next weekend.

Nice!

ok i give ya a call, did u mean this coming weekend, or memorial weekend

Terry,
Dangit, now I got to put my crappie rods back in the boat!
Great catch and you called it. Those would be good in a fish fry Sat. night. I can bring some fixxins if you want.

I get quite a few still unspawned crappie into late May and or even early June in southern Ohio every year. I know you guys a re a little farther south but not that much.

Memorial Day weekend would be the earliest I could shake free & that's if my wife doesn't come up with something for me to do.

As a rule by this time most all the crappie are spawned out. In those 10 females 2 were Blacks. You NEVER see Blacks with eggs around here this late! I have caught fish with eggs this late before but it was Whites & 1 here 1 there. This was over 50% of my catch!

Oddest year I've ever seen! Last year our water temp was bump'n 80 by now. The mouth of the bay I caught these in yesterday was 65/66.

Good catch Terry, don't post to many more pic's though, I'll get the fever again.

I know everything I saw with eggs late up here were whites. And your right, this is an odd year.
All these lakes had been a yo-yo early then they went up and stayed that way. I'm hoping by next week I'll be able to fish my home lake, I haven't been on it since March.
Everyone's still wearing jackets...come on, it's mid May.
