83 crappie, finally a decent day.

I had been in a bit of a slump lately but snapped out of it today with 83 crappie. Most were caught casting Kalin's Money jig including my biggest which was 14.25" and 1lb 8oz.

I caught all the crappie today in water 8'-10' deep and caught them 4'-6' deep. I had one at 1lb 5oz and 1lb even with most of the rest around 10" with quite a few males in their tuxes.

It was cold morning as I fished in the wind without the sun showing itself until around mid day. Water temps were 68-70. I was playing around late in the day trying different jigs and caught nearly 20 with BGBS Kiwi. First time I had any luck with this color.

Good to hear you are back in the swing!

Good report tap, glad you got into em

very nice!!! definitely a much better catch than mine! :)

Sounds like a very nice day.

Good Job! Great post!

George WTG, but a decent day? By my standard that was a super day,and after that cold front and even greater day

I almost put of going until today which I am glad I did not. While I had to contend with NW winds that were 5-9 with a few gust of 17-23, today the winds have started out NE 10-21. Yuck!

If any member that contributes to the board wants to know where I was fishing just shoot me a pm.

Good day finally, glad you got on them, like I said it's just a matter of time. We all go through those slow times but we manage to get back on them. If you fished 3, 4 times a week you could stay on the fish, but when you only have the weekends it's hard some times. I have been catching them pretty steady the last 2 weeks.

Nice report. Sounds like a really fun day.

Nice day you had there guy. I'm off next week so I hope to catch a few :)

Thanks for the report, Tap. Good catch!

Good Job, Tap. Im glad you found them again. Did they still have eggs in them or had they already spawned out.

The two females I brought some were mostly spawned out. I don't think crappie lay all of their eggs so perhaps they were done spawning as they were thin and did not have a lot of eggs left in them.

10 4 Thanks for the info. I might get to go again next sunday. Hopefully you all will not catch them all before i get there. I know most of you release them anyway.

Good to see somebody finally getting back into the crappie. I had to go to NC today to do some shooting and just as well since it was windy and cold. Have to do some fertilizing and disc a couple of fields tomorrow and Tuesday, but hope to get back at some fishing Wednesday or Thursday.

It should read, "The two females I brought home" not some. Too late to correct it now.

Glad you got them Tap nice report as always
