We fished from 08:30 to 4:00. We just couldn’t find anycrappie or get any to bite till about 10:00. We only caught a total of 20, but countless yellow perch and gills. Biggest fish of the day was a 15 1/4 crappie.All fish were caught on a new type of jig and plastics I just made. I thinkI need some fishing lessons from tear em up.

Mike,
That's a real nice crappie for the area you were fishing. I was in their yesterday and also today. Got 42 fish yesterday and 87 today. Only 3 crappie over 10" and nothing close to 15. We did get a good number of keeper yellow perch today.
Rob,
Went out this morning for a couple of hours. Fished from the shoreline only caught 5 crappie , 10 gills, 1 bass, and 1 yellow perch. I wanted to stay till the front moved in, but lack of sleep was getting to me.
Mike
So what body of water were you fishing?

Rob,
I bet that carp was a fun time. I recognize that area. I wentthis morning in the wind. I only caught a couple with a few gills. Tried another spot and caught about 25 gills. Some were nice size like this one.

I see you made the fish stay "tight lipped" about that new bait you're using. Lightweight head (1/32) is key in that area for success.Quote:

Pretty fish and good eating. Hope you did't get blowed out of the boat. Fresh White Perch for me tonights dinner.
Fished from the shore today. The water went out fast past the boat ramp.
Is that the Ramp pier in your pics? I've seen others catching fish there when I was coming in, just never went there to fish.Quote:
