Stumpy Pond Jan 14 and 16

Water 51 and muddy, jig didn't want to sink in the mud, had to push it down with my pole. Managed to get 11 nice sized crappie, a few dinks, a nice cat, and 1 big perch. Biggest fish were in the 14" range. Went out Saturday and the water was even muddier due to the inch of rain we got Friday. Ended up with 11 crappie again, a little smaller than Thursday, the biggest 8 went 11 lbs So still decent sized. Brought in 1 channel and 2 blues, biggest went 8 lbs. altogether got 27 lbs Saturday. If these pics will show my brother Jon with a slab Thurs and me with a blue Sat

Thanks for the report. Good to know someone still hits stumpy regardless of the conditions.:highfive

nice fish

That is not bad for 2 days fishing. I will take that any day I go fishing. Thanks for sharing

fish fry tomorrow, lol :)

Those are some nice crappie. Love the part about having to push the jigs down with your rods.:Rofl:Rofl Congrats.

I got a kick out of that line also :)

Good report and nice catch fishing in the muddy water. Thanks for posting the pics :ThumbsUp

forgot to mention, fish holding near ledges right at 20' of water. all caught on minnows, and minnow tipped jigs, drifting

thanks for the report aint been in stumpy pond in 85 years and i'm 71 now :biggrin
good you found some wanting to take the peanut oil plunge

Great catch! Conditions are not pleasant for the fish or the fishermen right now. Glad you and your brother were able to find a nice mess willing to cooperate

How is the landing at Stumpy Pond, is it a easy in and out, paved, dirt. Never been there.

Good job on a muddy lake. I never seem to do any good when it is muddy. Now that I know I have to push my jig down in the mud, maybe I can manage a few. :Rofl

Easy in, Easy out, good pavement, was reworked some years back. fairly steep road coming in (and going out), main parking is before you get to the landing, I like to park at the landing if there are not many folks around.

THANK'S FOR POST AND PIC'S I'AM GOING INTO DT'S CANT WAIT TILL I GET TO GO AGAIN
