First mess from Pickwick

Have caught some fish before in Pickwick, but never amounted to enough to call a mess until now. Gonna fry them up Sunday with the friend who helped catch them. Only 7 crappie and 1 bass, but with a few shrimp should be just fine. Largest crappie was 13 inches. Lost 2 nice ones and a larger bass at the boat. Caught on blk/char road runners. I think they are finally coming up shallow.Water was 64 degrees surface temp. However the water temp will drop again, with another cold front tomorrow. Really happy to at least get the skunk's attention. Been a long year trying around here. Way different than where I fished in Louisiana.

Hey if you need help eating them shrimp let me know.

Way to go, Danny.

Good job, Danny! What's the normal water level for Pickwick this time of year? The Big 4 are all high and muddy, thinking about making a trip over there, but not familiar with the "normal" water level.

That's the stuff D. Looks like a good dinner to me.

Thanks guys, The normal water level is only 1 ft higher than now. 414 ft. I think. Spart, gotta get my game going for June.

How deep were the shrimp? :scratchhead

hahaha about 2 ft in the freezer at Walmart. Honestly, try the large easy peel shrimp from Walmart. 24 ounces for about $10. I come from a family of shrimpers. We have owned 3 different boats and have even sold some years ago. So I know shrimp well and the easy peels are a good deal and taste great.

Great job and that will be a great supper.

You better bring your A game if you want to keep up with the Michigan hooligans. Can't wait to see you and OE in that roll down the hill contest.

Congrats. Those will make a fine meal.

Good job Danny

You’re sure not having any problems with preparing the catch! My tongue just slapped my face a few times looking at that spread!
