Extra crispy Please

Hit a spot I like yesterday . Not really a strong bite but did manage to ketch a few fat black crappie .
Couldn't come up with a solid pattern to get bit . Some wanted a bright bait ,some wanted a dark bait . Really foggy and warm for January ,was a bit chilly at first and warmed up fast .
Water temp was 48 and fish were scattered according to a guy who graphed one of my locations .
So a couple didn't get a Ketchn kitchen pass and ended up traveling with me back to the house for my dinner plans .
.... extra frisky in the morning on a few of them resulted in extra crispy in the evening .
and yes that's is a Kale/cabbage kinda slaw/salad that is about really tasty beside them that I homemade last night ....:highfive
KABOOM is the word yawl :cheers2

Nice pics. Nice crappie. Nice jig. Nice plate. KABOOM!!! :cheers2

Great pictures, especially the last one!

A great finish to a great day.

fish look good, plate looks good

What a plate of groceries, KABOOM!

The ole carrot strikes again...... It's almost been deleted from my box except one that worked very well a few weeks back.....
I guess we had the same line of taste last night, I had crispy baked crappie myself only I had a side of broccoli and cheese..... TASTY I tell ya.....:cheers2

And just so you know the fish ain't pose too hit no bright baits on them foggy, dark & cloudy days......

Ketchn, I'm new to cdc.,but have read for sometime.Always love your post. Always have a lil laugh every time,as well as learn a little too... Thank you for that Sir. Think we'd have fun fishing together if not on opposite sides of country(?). Also your slaw looks like a vinager based slaw we make sometimes. Looks awesome ... Keep up the good work....

KABOOM!! Brother, dinner looked good!

Yum yum, lake to plate in the same day is my favorite way to roll.

I used half chopped kale / half cabbage coleslaw mix as a starter , then I added about whatever was laying around . some broken Christmas tortilla chips ,some shredded cheese , some crushed pecans , a bit of fresh pineapple ,some raisins and etc etc
made my dressing with plum jelly and house ranch about 50/50 ….really was a tasty slaw type salad for sure

Enjoyed the report and pictures. Thanks for sharing:)

Your posts are what crappie fishing is supposed to be for. Lake to table or something like that. Appreciate the time you spend putting it together.

The best way to eat crappie or any fish is cooking them right after you clean them. Which is why I don't keep crappie in the freezer and have not done so since I retired 25 years ago. Unfortunately the crappie gods have been angry at me the last three days and I have caught nothing but varieties of bass. Fortunately for me, but not the crappie, H, Ketchn and SK spent yesterday afternoon at my slips and I have three nice crappie in my fishing basket which will be cleaned this afternoon and baked tonight. My only contribution to the afternoon was another small black bass which was quickly returned to the water.

Can't beat good fishing buddies who always manage to come up a few keepers during hard personal times. ) I also owe heart felt thanks to H and ketchn for the three new nice crappie condos they added to my slips yesterday. :cheers2

That is awesome! Now, I am both hungry and jealous.

Great post! Nothing like fresh fried crappie!!!! I have 3 months to wait??
