The Dark Angel, Preparing for Battle
Attachment 82112
The Dark Angel at battle trolling 35 feet deep with minnows, she would watch over 100 keeper crappie and three beautiful blue cats cross her bow in two days of fishing.

Sunset on the lake we fished the last two days
Attachment 82114
Some Of the better fish Don/AKA Conway and his partners caught, you can bet that after both of us cleaning 200 crappies we were a little tuckered out.

Attachment 82115
My uncle with one of over 100 crappie in two days, my Dad and myself had a blast watching the Dark Angel do her thing.
Attachment 82116
The catch from the first evening ended up with 50 and also caught a 8 lb blue. The second day we had a triple limit with two more blue cats that were 4-5 lbs apiece. Both cats hit me and my uncles poles and we had a blue cat double. That was fun.

That's what I'm saying! Yall ever use jigs or always minnows? Blue or channels either way that size on crappie equipment would be a tussle to say the least Nimrod.

Russ I hate your going to be working Monday and Tuesday while I'm out there whacking them again

man I like those pic, good job russ! yall know how to get it done

Nice catch Russ

Good job, man! Thanks for the post and the pics.

good post looks like y'all had fun

XRING it was allot of fillets and every body got to take home amess of fish, when we got done we all had back pain and hunger so we fried up a big mess after cleaning to ease our back pain, the best time to fry some up is the same day you caught em. LOL dont get any fresher than that.

CA im pretty sure they were blues.

Steve I really try and wash/detail the Dark Angel out every two weeks, for her carpet i wet and spray a carpet cleaner that foams up, run a brush across and wet vac, then get a rag and detail up carpet spots that didnt clean up well. She is always covered when not in use.

Conway I know... you always kill me when im working and you are off, cos I know you are out there just putting a hurting on em. Now we get to see pic of all the great fish you catch.

Constructskeeter, we love Jigs first and foremost, but aint too proud to use a minnow if we feel thats what they want, on this trip we just saw minnows getting bit more than Jigs soo we switched up and ran all minnows. That's a great thing about spider rigging the fish can tell you what they want by hitting one pole over the others , then you just switch over ur other rods and knock thier lights out.

Great catch and photos

wow great catch!!!

Good stuff! Good set up!

Nice catch

what boat is that?

The Dark Angel is looking good Russ. I'm gonna have to start a good cleaning schedule on the "White Knight"!

Nice mess CP! Hey just give me a shout when you want to come fish. We never made that trip to OR like we talked about.

Fetmo she is a Lowe Stinger 175, Jet Black, thus the name (Dark Angel) front and rear live well and minnow wells, double up front seating and the widest most stable boat you will ride in her class, She is a true warrior on the water that has brought death to 1000's of crappie. Man I love her...Soooo. My beautiful Wife gets a lil jealous at times. LOL

501 yes man lets do it, Im ready when you are brother. Off Thurs, Fri, Sat?
