Ended up not being just a crappie day after all

Hit my out of the way, good weekend, no wake lake today. Day started out pretty foggy.Attachment 410311
Long lined around the entire lake before I caught my first crappie. A solid 10.5 in fish.

Thinking it was going to just be a slow day I took a quick pic and released it. That must have pleased the fish gods as it was like a light switch flipped. I quickly landed a few bass and then hooked a walleye that broke off at the boat. I continued on and landed a keeper walleye.

Continued on and landed 3 more walleye and had another one spit the jig before I could net it. Landed my last good crappie also.

The largest walleye fortunately hit the new BnM spinning rod I recently won. The other 3 came on the 11' BnM. They fight pretty hard on an 11' crappie rod!!!:Rofl Pretty fun day over all.

Good report and pics....thanks for sharing

That was a great mixed bag day

Wish I could have gone along but, alas, I had a bathroom to work on. Nice bunch of fish for a lake with no fish in it (so I've been told).

Wonder if it’s the same lake that I used to ride my bike to as a kid.

There was no access for 4 years when it was first created. I would ride my bike, and wade the beaches casting for trout.

To the South of the launch, that small section of what used to be a valley, was the location of my Grand Dads favorite deer blind location.

That’s if we’re talking about the same lake w/ no fish……. ;)

Yes please report on the 75th Anniversary combo. I think I want to get one maybe when they are available. I hear good things so far.

He almost won't let me and my old, cheap rods in the boat now. Please don't give him anything else that's nice.

You go Jeff. Sparty, looks like you might have to only fish with me.........

Wait, I dont have a boat any longer, that thought, maybe you had better put some spit & polish on those old rods and make them presentable on the Jeff Boat.

At first I was concerned the rod would be too stiff, but the tip was fast enough I've had a riot fighting 10-12 inch perch and crappie and still able to swing them into the boat. I also landed numerous 19-26 inch pike, bass and walleye with this rod with confidence. As with all the BnM rods I've fished, the sensitivity was outstanding. I could feel the fish suck in a bait or peck at a leach or plastic. The reel is really smooth and the drag is great for the bigger fish. This combo quickly has become my favorite spinning combo. This is the nicest spinning combo I've ever had and the sensitivity difference from my cheaper combos is amazing. I did do a report on the contest thank you forum a couple weeks back also.

Sounds like a great combo. Thanks for the review
