First time poster, I have always enjoyed reading the reports, tips and post on here. I figured a good way to start off on Crappie.com would be with a 2.09 lb 15 in. Illinois Crappie i caught 3/6/16 on a high pressure public lake in SW Illinois. I am looking forward to a good 2016 Crappie year! lets hope the weather and rain stay in the fishermans favor! Looking forward to sharing tips& ideas with others on here.
Welcome. That's a good one for are area. Don't see many black crappie around here.
Welcome aboard. Nice start
Great way to start
Sweet first post!!
Welcome. Nice fish for sure!
Welcome. Nice one
Awwhhh come on...tell us which lake...
How was she caught? Depth, lure, etc...
Most fish in 4-8 fow on a bobby garland shad black/silver 1/16 oz jig She was full of eggs. Lake is a warm water one near me that should narrow it down enough ;).
:biggrinrotfl:Rofl Got it! I think...
Lol starts with a C and has too many bass fisherman :)
This is a fun guessing game... Keep thinking I know the answer and then find out I'm wrong :biggrinQuote:

Yes I live on the lake and fish it often. Was out on it this weekend water temps mid 40s w/ super dirty water.
Welcome aboard. That's a nice crappie..
Nice fish no matter where its caught!
Welcome. Thats good to know. Always knew there were big fish there!!!!
Nice fish but your gonna have to get a different hat to post on the Illinois board.
Born in iowa and raised a hawkeye fan Lol. Its a lot more fun to cheer for a winning team and not a bottom feeder like the illini :). Should be a good game today (Ill vs iowa in basketball). Go Hawks!
I know exactly where this is I've pulled 5 2+ lb fish out of there this year

All from same lake in the past month
I like the slab checker on the belt! Did those even fit in it?!?
ah yes those spots look very familiar! :) nice fish! seems like the average size has been great this year!
Their heads wouldn't even fit into the checker thats when you know you gotta hog!
you know when the CPO opens the bucket and says "wow" instead of "is that 10 inches" your doing good :)
Anybody see the score of the game today? Just wondering how the Illini did. I have to agree it's not been much fun being an Illini fan for some time.Quote:

You can't park now half the time you know
Illinois won today, they shot well and almost gave one away, however the Hawkeyes will be playing next week when it matters and the illini will be at home! :) football program will be on the up in no time with Lovie coming in I love that hire. I had to endure 7 some years of bad Hawkeye sports before the bright spots the last few years so I feel your pain!
Good one there,Congrats
2+ pounders are hard to come by i learned this lake a little bit last year and this year hit hard i felt like the colder it got the more the fish would fire up. My local lakes i fish have a lot of small fish but if you take your time, fish slow, and look for bigger fish in deeper water away from the banks. A lot of guys say i should have had a couple of those mounted but then i wouldn't be able to eat them. Tight lines men!!Quote:
