Sat Afternoon at Meade 9/15/12

[Idunno]

I had chores to do and couldn't break away, except for a short afternoon trip. So I took my son to the lake around 2 pm, and bumped into JimB at the ramp. I must admit he is even taller and smarter than legend says!!!

Anyway, we fished from about 3 -6:30 pm and put 8 crappie in the boat.

Five were around 10", and the rest were smaller.

We lost at least 4 more good ones right beside the boat. The by-catch was 2 green carp, 3 bream, and this thing:

(Those things always remind me of Beowulf.) We also caught 3 yellow perch, and one was pretty nice at 12.5":

Most of the fish were caught by tossing Kalins grubs in John Deere and Lemon Mering colors, although we also had 4 poles with minnows out the back, and 4 long poles with BGBS out of the front. The fish were between 6 - 10 deep in 12 FOW.

We stayed too long, and when I arrived back at the ramp the kind gentleman politely reminded me that I was 30 minutes late.

The next time, I will have to force myself to leave sooner.

Good luck everyone!

YP were scattered a bit. That one bit a minnow on a cane pole, set 8-9' deep in 10FOW.

were they with the crappie

You don't always find the two together, but when they are, the ringers will usually be a bit deeper than the specks.
