13 Crappie Where The Wild Things Are

Made a late start due to the cold morning and hit the water at 1:30. Saw 2 bunches of wild hogs and a deer. There was the usual group of close buzzards siting up in the tree tops waiting for me to die.

Then I managed to catch 13 crappie in some wild action. All happening at nearby Palmetto State Park. It's just a tiny place where they don't even have access for power boats. It's designed for us paddlers and the bank fishermen.

I gave the catch to 3 nice bank fishermen who in turn helped me to load my yak. I don't have a good place to clean fish after dark.

Catch was mixed between blue/white and chart/black. I was double rigging.

nice catch…….good weather for fishing today.felt that you would catch fish when I was on my way to work today…….weird.no not me……just weird….

Good catchin. It rained here all evening.

Nice catch

Nice catch; I bet kayak fishing is fun

nice

sounds like a fun day.........good catch.....

I was over there last week. Fished by the canoe launch and the next pond to the left - both places were almost covered up with salvinia. Caught one pumpkinseed! Should have gone to the pond by the camping area.
Didn't splash my canoe - walked the banks and came up on two droves of pigs and a big-ass alligator. The pigs spooked - the alligator didn't! I did! No buzzards, but lots of specklebellies flying around. It is a wild place.
Glad you got a few.

Sounds like a great Friday the 13th story. 13 on the 13th. Way to go, you yakster. Nice to give them away also!!

Had so much fun yesterday I went back. Another late start around 11:30 and caught 10. Like Pete said there is a good bit of salvinia in there. Looks like it will cover the entire place in time.

Nice report especially naming your location in the state. It makes your post and everyone else that does this more meaningful.

24 more today mostly on those Bobby Garland blue/grey baby shad. No pics cause I gave them away again. Still got some August fish. Fish are on the small side for the most part.

mermentau is a fisherman with confidence and knows he can't catch them all and neither can anyone else.
