A good friend of mine, and crappie.com member that has been M.I.A. for awhile suggested that I put these pics on here for you guys.
Both of these were from Moses Lake. The first one was about a month ago, the other was this past friday.
The friend of mine taught me how to fish, and in particular for crappie about 2 1/2 years ago and it has become a passion as well as competition.

dang thoes are some monsters!
hey, i know where you caught those, the bridge!?!? those are some real nice ones :D
that bridge area has some great crappie fishing!
Nice...this is the first time i have dropped by the Washington board and i am impressed by the size of the fish out there.
Those are some pretty nice fish. I bet your husband caught them:D
Cajun it has been a long time, been catchin some fish? Hows it been?
Damn! Busted again. Can't get anything past you smarta$$! ;)
Actually, my HUSBAND only wishes he could land one of those. Haven't seen it happen yet though.
.....this could get nasty :D. I know him well. Welcome to the forum Rock.Quote:

Thanks Slab. I've heard nothing but wonderful things about your fishing skills.
Don't let Cajun fool you. My so-call husband was thrilled for me. Matter of fact, I think that's the happiest I have ever seen him. Until he catches one of those monsters himself that is. :D
Kokanee I've bee doing a lot of traveling lately. Getting my line wet every chance I get. The fishing has been so-so lately. Sawyer is the only place I caught any crappie on a regular basis this year. I'm in South Carolina right now and the Crappie usually bite pretty good this time of year. I'm scheduled to go out with Big "E" and Rango one night this week...:D
S.C? Damn man, I'm jealous...for real:D. Goodluck down there.
I'll drop you a line when the crappie start that fall bite on Union. I've been fishing Meridian, Washington, and Tanwax lately. Nothing to write home about but at least they're biting.
We should get together and do a weekend thang before it gets to cold. Silver, Potholes or where ever. I'll be back next week, but then I've got to go back to Louisiana at the end of the month. Maybe the 23rd of this month or the 7th or 14th of next month looks like good dates for me.
man chris, you are traveling a lot. hope you can get into some good ones down there in S.C.
hey slab, you been catching bass outa meridian? i've gotta go back there and try it again :rolleyes:
Now that....sounds like a plan to me. Moses sounds good. I'll keep in touch.Quote:

All the largemouths I've caught have come from under the deeper docks...casting 4" senkos.....if you can keep the perch of your line.Quote:

However, in about 10 minutes i'm about to hit the road to fisherman heaven which is about a 40 minute drive from where I am right now.

:D
try not to spend to much money chris :D
speaking of the potholes and moses, did you guys see the slabs coming out of the potholes lately :eek: . i can't wait untill the dock tournament! your going down bassman :D .
here's the report..... http://www.mardonresort.com/wr_.aspx
hey guys I think that we shouyld do a big get together over at moses or potholes get some BBQ going sounds like a blast, I pulled a few smallies out of union the other day mostly 1 to 1.5 pounders I can not seem to get the bigger ones but man they still fight hard, I am going down to duck on wed. till the rest of the week most likely, and will be ripping little crappie lips and some big ones to. then I will be back to try and pull some silvers out of washington and to get some more union smallies and some crappie if slab will show me how to do it right this time...
after looking at the report it looks like we should go to potholes!
That's what I'm saying lol. That 16" crappie on the mardon site is a hog!Quote:

I was at Mardon Aug 29-Sept 2 (as well as Moses Lake).
The fishing off the dock was great. Brought home a small cooler full of 10" or better and a bunch of bluegill. I saw one guy get a stringer full of 14" or better.
By the way, the 2nd crappie in the pics was over 16", the first was 15 1/2.
i think the 9" minimum and the higher water levals are paying off for the potholes. i've seen a lot more crappie caught off the dock in the past couple years. and a lot more big ones. i think it's really gonna get good in 2 or 3 years when all those 6"-7" crappie grow up ;)

But foreal, I'm going to head out there that next weekend (30th) and put a whipping on those Moses Lake walleye and crappie. The fall bite should be kicking into gear by then. After that it's Green River salmon and lake Union crappie time until early December.
where might you be staying over there I think that urban and I might have to head over there too, drop a pm with urban he might have a place for us to stay...
I was gonna stay at MarDon so I could fish for channel cats and crappie at night.
Looks like I'm going to be out there this weekend as well :D. Leaving seattle at 4am and should be on the docks at MarDon by 7am. After the bite slows down at the dock I'm going to hike back into the dunes and fish a couple beaver huts in the main channel for bluegills with the old flyrod.
slab you know haw to get it done... I would not mind staying at mar don either, let us know how you do i would love to get out there...
well slab i've been fishing that dock for almost 5 hole years and i've ripped quite a few lips in that time :D . are you gonna be shore stuck when your there slab? bluegill on a fly sure sounds fun :) . any size to them?
Yeah, I'm not going to drag the boat over this time. With the water so low I'll be better off hiking back into the dunes and fishing the huts in the channels. There are some really nice bluegill holes back in there if you walk long enough and cross some water. I'll post up a bunch of pics of a few zipperlip holes :D.
good luck to those heading east! I will wait til Oct 15th for my trip to Banks/Moses. Tomorrow I'm heading for Misery point for the great coho fishing. Today I tried Kapowsin-- very chilly and windy, got 8 nice slabs trolling a black and yellow roadrunner real slow with the electric, along the backside of the island. I tried smearing krill gel on lure like some guys do back east. don't know if it helped, but didn't hurt. bye
that's some nice fish
Hey Spud, with all this rain there should be a nice push of silvers and late kings into the rivers as well. Good luck out there.
