First Time on Nimrod

My good friend, Warren Carpenter, and I fished Nimrod today - my first time. Not nearly as many dinks as I expected and several nice crappie. Had a great time. Beautiful lake and nice ride up (3 hours for me). I'll be back.

Here's me with my personal shade on. It was real nice til about the last hour. Could not believe how cool it was all day long.

Good job, man! Nimrod's a really nice lake with lots of crappie! Thanks for the post and the pics.

Nice catch.

Hey what you doing sneaking up here ? :Rofl You picked a nice day for it, I'm still cleaning up downed trees and fences after last night's storm.

Great job Todd...Nimrod is a Great Lake and has crappie all over it.

nice fish Todd, like the personal shade to buddy!!!!!

Nice catch Todd.

Blackfish, Ya'll feeling sick? KATV said something bad going on with the water. I'm headed up that way in the a.m. Gonna die of something anyway.

We had poor water Quality and fish die off a while back one summer. Now the blue-green algae is covering it in spots .:dono All these floods probably washing in lots of farm wastes from chicken and cattle farms . That would be my guess.:twocents

There also was a couple guys back got bad skin infections that cleaned fish while camping here a few weeks back. I read that report on KATV and sounds like similar case. Might not hurt to wear gloves cleaning fish and try to avoid water contact if you have open wounds.

We had a great time. We caught fish in the bloom! Be careful! You never. Know
.

Question for the biologists , could the fungus we see on the fish be from this ? Blackfish did you see any white fungus on any of your fish ?

Nice fish thanks for posting...hope to make my first trip over there soon...

Nice fish blackfish.

CA - The fungus could be due to poor water quality. When a fishes environment is sub par, their immune systems get compromised and they get sick easier. This is just speculation about Nimrod. The fungus could be due to something else. It is hard to say.

Great fish on a great day! Congrats

Nice catch and a great day on the water.

Good job! !!!! Good to see warren out and about! !!!!!

Nice catch Congrats!

Congrats on the successful trip. I'd like to fish there before the year is over.
