    Default 62 crappie in the wind.


    It was blue skies and 85 today so I won't complain about the SW winds that were gusting to 21mph. I did most my fishing in the wind and waves. I had 40 by noon then the afternoon bite slowed down and I picked up 22 more for 62. My biggest was 14" and weighed 1lb 8oz and was caught on a pearl/chartreuse wasshoppah tipped with a crappie nibble 4' down in water around 7' deep.



    This was one of the few crappie that I did not catch casting Kalin's Money jig. I probably got 50 of the 62 casting the Money jig. All crappie were caught 4'-7' down over structure in water 6'-12' deep. If you want to say that a 10" crappie is a keeper then I had at least 45 keepers. Quite a few at 11" but other than my 14"er only a handful at 12". Due to the winds I didn't long line much but when I did I never even got a bite. Water temp was 70-75.

    Great report. I hope to have on on Lake Anna tomorrow evening!
    Keep some for the pan, let the larger ones go back for another day!

    Good report & picture, Tap. Have you tried the BGBS in "Sunrise" color?

    Please explain what the DF screen is showing and your settings. Which unit is that?

    Sometimes the wind is your friend but 20mph is a little much for this old man.

    When I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations I have a good day
