Pomme de Terre YUCK!!! One Keeper and never saw another one!
Got a very late start after 3 pm today Saturday. I didn't get out of Marine Repair Center until after 1 pm after they installed my new Lowrance Gen 2 with down and side scan. Picked up a friend who had never Crappie fished before until today! Dang I am sure glad I started before age 54 Crappie fishing! Put in at Pittsburg state Park, worked way down towards Nemo Bridge Area going into coves and working the edges throwing jigs. Most of these coves had been producing fish during the last month for us. I pitched every color plus even tipped them with minnows! NOTHING PERIOD!
Decided that maybe I was on the wrong part of the lake so I turned around and headed for the Pomme arm. Went in to the back side cove of Lake Forest Subdivision. My friend Gary learned how to catch green carp! We worked the docks and the sides of the coves casting into the banks. Finally Gary got his first ever Crappie. Sorry the picture is so dark because I was busy trying to throw the kitchen sink at my old fishing hole! I waited until we got the boat back on the trailer at the State Park before I took a picture. We released it back to maybe grow it was a 9.5 inch.
Did talk with a Park Ranger as we were about to pull out and come home. He said everyone he had talked with for the last 3 or 4 days were not doing any good. And most folks said they didn't catch anything today. When only one crappie comes into my boat period it was bad, I couldn't even catch a dink!!
Hope I made a Crappie fisherman today of a very good friend!
