Saturday-223 crappie, a new personal record.

Always nice to have your best day ever. (numbers wise) Not sure why, but the bite was on like I've never seen before. In just over 10 hours I caught 223 crappie. (I use a clicker, this is not an estimate) I only caught 3 vertical jigging as my focus today was on casting. No minnows were harmed as the crappie were happy with either a Blue Ice or Black/Pink BGBS. (Bobby Garland Baby Shad) I caught them anywhere from 5' deep to 20' deep. (Black/Pink early and late in the day with Blue Ice mid day) The majority were around 11" including this guy.

I only had one that broke 1lb, this one was 1lb 1oz.

But heh, with as many 11"ers as I caught I am not complaining.

It was a crazy day and I had 100 at 10:35. Days like today are why I no longer fish with minnows. I was constantly catching them at different depths and when casting it's as simple as changing the number you are counting to whereas with bobbers and minnows it's a lot of work to be constantly changing your depth.

I showed surface water temp at 53-54.

Heck of a day, congrats

Wow!

congrats,sounds like a great day,nice day for it.

Great day,days like that is what dreams are made of,it seams like it was a nice day outside,only outside a little while.

I kept thinking all day at work that it would be a perfect day to be fishing, congrats on a great day.

Great report! You're right about minnows getting in the way when the bite is that strong. Every motion takes time & when you multiply those little bits of time by several hundred strikes, inefficiency takes a chunk out of your day.

Banker talk....:biggrin

Great Report George!

Way to go George!!

That's a nice day for sure! Congrats!

A report like that is cause for the big gun reply..............

Great Googly-Moogly that is sweet!

Congrats G !

Great day George. I hope I have half of that day today.

You really hit the Mother Load

I should mention that for the most part the winds were from the east. So much for "when the wind is from the east the fish bite the least". And the barometer was pretty high at 30.26 for what it's worth.

When I go fishing I throw most of those old saying away,I use to go and when I didn't catch much I said fish was not biting,then find out someone else tore them up ,so now I say I could not find those fish that wanted to bite. Glad you had a good day but I bet someone else had a bad day

Dang! ... A few weeks ago, I fished half a day, put 155 in the boat, I should have fished all day that day to see just how many I could catch in a day,my arm and shoulder was sore from 155, it would have fell off with that many. One rod, vertical jigging.

I don't catch that many in a year normally. Dang son, that's a crappie whoopin!!

What a day to remember. :notworthy

That is insane. I haven't caught that many crappie in 2013.

Great job George!!! I need to get back to crappie fishing. I agree there's nothing like catching them casting.

That's impressive! CF

Hell yeah. Git-r-done.

Bs!!!

I used to read about members of this forum catching 100 crappie and had my doubts so I can understand you having yours. However, after fishing with numerous members of this forum I no longer have those doubts. I have learned a lot from fishing with others, maybe you should do the same. I would recommend a trip with fishdoc as I am sure he has topped 200 many times over.
