Good day on Grand (pics)

Got to the lake at around noon and started fishing in the 5-6 ft water on the flats but the yellow bass were tearing me up. I moved to the deeper water (15 ft) and started trolling six 16-ft poles 1-2 feet deep with Bobby Garland jigs. I was able to catch 35 nice Crappie by 5:00. The limit is 30 so I threw 5 back. There were 8 that went over 2 lbs and the largest went 2 lbs 12 oz. The wind was calm on Grand today which is very rare and made for a great day. The females were all over the lake but suspending at 1-6 ft. A few more warm days and they will be back in the shallows.

Some really nice fish there Steve, and some very impressive size. I'm going to have to get down there and try them. Not set up for trolling but maybe can catch some anyway. Those are some good pictures too, thanks for the report and pictures.

Jerry,
With the warm days coming up they should be in the trees by this weekend. The best way to fish in there is with an ultralite rig throwing a jig under a cork. There should be some real good action starting in the next few days....Steve
