lots of fish

Dad couldn't make it today so i ask lead dog to go with me and of course he said heck ya. We went to one of the suffolk lakes and smoked them. We ended up with around 130 and 50 nice ones for the livewell. We had 12 over a pound the biggest was 1lb 4oz. The rest of the keepers were around 3/4's of a pound. Started culling fish around 10:00 and left the lake a little after 12:00 and left them biting. Fish Doc, I think lead dog is catching on to this crappie fishing thing. He smoke them. The fish were in 6' to 14' FOW suspended from 3' to 7'. Color of jig didn't seem to matter but at one time they were smoking the pink and white.

Great catch--specially for a half day! :ThumbsUp:ThumbsUp:ThumbsUp Thanks for the report!

white has been hot lately. Great report!

It does my heart good to hear tell of fish of a better size being caught. It appears you had a great day, CONGRATULATIONS are in order.

Were you fishing over brush? Trolling, slip float??

crappyman, i was tightlining jigs in open water.

wtg,1/2day ,sounds great,thanks:cool:

I would bet that you were not at BM.

great report!!!!! sounds like your finding some better fish. i found a new place to fish on mead and the next time i see ya i'll give you a heads up. this place was holding some better fish. tight lines JIM.B

Im not picking on ya but how do you catch fish tightlining 3' with those 20' rods? Do you have to backreel? I only have a 14' boat so I went with 12' rods. I just got tired of putting them all out and back up while moving so ive been honing my casting skills.. but I keep them in my boat at all timee lol :)

papermouth, you set the drag tight enough to set the hook in the fish but loose enough to pull drag out when you get one on. Believe me it works. The last couple of weeks i have actually seen them hit the jig. They where suspended 1' or less.
