Wed the 19th caught 22,12 to 15 inch crappie out of a farm pond on land that I hunt. fished with a 1/32nd pink head white body marabou jig with a bee moth. on this day the stars were in line, sun and moon in harmany and the fish gods were just plain nice to me. Fileted up at least 2 good fish frys. Deer hunting wasnt to bad either.:Rofl

Nice job and good pics.

Great looking fish. Nice catch.

So exactly where is this pond your inviting me to. Nice catch Buddy

Those are some beautiful looking crappie. I bet they are going to eat very well, congrats on the fine catch.

Wilbur here are the directions. get off rt 24 at big bay go left to the second fork in the road not the first youll get lost,now at the fork take the right side follw that road to a t with a large rock to the right go left, Now go past the green barn on the left and go to the road with the crooked tree in the middle of the road, past that there is a house that is leaning to the back not to the front thats the first house you will see.Just past that house is an old logging road to the right, dont take that youll get stuck . The next logging road to your right is the one you want to take, follow it 12.7 miles and the pond is on the right. not the left its full of huge redear and this is a crappie site so dont fish it. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys it sure was fun

Wilbur, he's tryin to confuse you. I know that lake and the barn isn't green, it's yellow.

Wilbur confused ? Naw????

Ok that's all clear as mud but Wilbur will get it lol nice job

Great directions, you get that Wilbur. nice catch fireman58. I'm a retired brother in blue.

Now that's a table full of slabs. Nice catch fireman. I use to fish that pond years ago until International Paper bought it and leased out the land, all gated off now.

That's my Pond!
