Buddy and I both took personal best today

Talked a friend I work with out of chasing trout this morning and was explaining how the crappie still bite even though it's hot. Took him out on the lake to work some ledges. Was wanting to see what cranks and suspending jerk baits would get along the edges of the ledge.

He was still grinning when he left the ramp. :biggrin Think he may be hooked...

Mine didn't turn out to be slabs but had a ball with both.

Crappie, walleye, smallmouth and stripe kept us out longer than what we expected but it was a great day to be on the water. The cats showed up a few times but it seemed the more the wind got up the more fish would move in along the ledge.

Congrats to both of you!:ThumbsUp

good deal

nice fishes.

Congrats on the good day on the water.

Nice fish

Nice fish. Sure would like to catch me a Smallie like that one time.

Nice ones bud. :)

Good fish Tom.

Thx guys, was just hoping to put him on some keeper Crappie but as the morning went on it just got better. A real mix bag of fish came off this ledge just before the really deep water. After putting out a waypoint on each fish we saw that they were all coming from a 70-80 ft stretch. From then on we just kept running that area. As the wind kept up and the sun got higher the more fish and bait we saw with each pass in that location. One of the best days this year by far.

What lake was you at Tom. Nice catch.

Nice ones.

Just saw this Nice work Guys... Hey I didn't know you had to bleed crappie out like tuna before cleaning them...

They were inhaling the crank on the bigger ones, it was just one of those days I guess. Not had one like that in some time.

look's like a good day on the water
