62 crappie in the wind.

It was blue skies and 85 today so I won't complain about the SW winds that were gusting to 21mph. I did most my fishing in the wind and waves. I had 40 by noon then the afternoon bite slowed down and I picked up 22 more for 62. My biggest was 14" and weighed 1lb 8oz and was caught on a pearl/chartreuse wasshoppah tipped with a crappie nibble 4' down in water around 7' deep.

This was one of the few crappie that I did not catch casting Kalin's Money jig. I probably got 50 of the 62 casting the Money jig. All crappie were caught 4'-7' down over structure in water 6'-12' deep. If you want to say that a 10" crappie is a keeper then I had at least 45 keepers. Quite a few at 11" but other than my 14"er only a handful at 12". Due to the winds I didn't long line much but when I did I never even got a bite. Water temp was 70-75.

Great report. I hope to have on on Lake Anna tomorrow evening!

Not bad...I was gonna guess over a hundred when you text me 31 by 10 oclock. Youve been fortunate to land a 14 on your past what 3 trips? and three different lakes..keep up the good fishin' :)

Like I have said I only wish for have as good a day as you have. Nice report.

Good day fishing ,one day I'll get out and fish and not have to work so much.

Good report & picture, Tap. Have you tried the BGBS in "Sunrise" color?

Please explain what the DF screen is showing and your settings. Which unit is that?

Sometimes the wind is your friend but 20mph is a little much for this old man.:biggrin

great catch and good report, nice pic

My unit is a Hummingbird 597. I replaced my Lowrance so that I could run the transducer cable down my Terrova shaft. (Lowrance cables are too big) I am just using default settings and what you are seeing is just piece of the brush pile I was fishing. I was only in 7' of water and with my settings that is why you see that large bar at the top.
