Since the crappie fishing has been off for me this spring with only 10-15 each trip I decided to chase some of these and man they are on fire ! We have caught well north of 500 this week with the majority being released for another day took a couple friends for a short trip yesterday and they kelp these for a couple messes!

Great job! I haven't got into big numbers like you, but I have caught some quality gills and crackers this year already!
Not Crappie, but some fine eating anyway.
Good job Mitch

Nice Job! Love a mess of gills and crackers! Were you fishing the northern part of the lake? I have yet to see much activity in the Honeycomb area. Just muddy water everywhere and high winds!
Congrats on your catch look like lot of fun to be had.

yes they starting up on the north end fished mid lake Friday morning but only found a few here and their water temps 3-4° warmer on north end!Quote:

Looks awesome! I find these as a bonus fish when I'm crappie fishing. What is your goto bait/method for catching crackers?

i like a squirrel tail jig tipped with a short piece of red worm best . I Seam to catch the bigger ones on some type small jig like that ! I also use bison colored trout magnet or a keystone minnow . But sometimes they are stubborn and only like a short piece of red worm ! I’ll try it on a float first and if I see activity and no bites on the cork I’ll try the bottom .we have tons of milfoil and black moss if it wasn’t for that I’d fish it on bottom only.
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!!
As winter fishing kinda wraps up I found myself looking forward to gills and shellies more and more. I fish the new and full moon all the through August. Lighten the tackle and they are a blast. And yeah I'd rather clean and eat them. Great post thanks for sharing.
