    Default Saturday-223 crappie, a new personal record.


    Always nice to have your best day ever. (numbers wise) Not sure why, but the bite was on like I've never seen before. In just over 10 hours I caught 223 crappie. (I use a clicker, this is not an estimate) I only caught 3 vertical jigging as my focus today was on casting. No minnows were harmed as the crappie were happy with either a Blue Ice or Black/Pink BGBS. (Bobby Garland Baby Shad) I caught them anywhere from 5' deep to 20' deep. (Black/Pink early and late in the day with Blue Ice mid day) The majority were around 11" including this guy.



    I only had one that broke 1lb, this one was 1lb 1oz.



    But heh, with as many 11"ers as I caught I am not complaining.

    It was a crazy day and I had 100 at 10:35. Days like today are why I no longer fish with minnows. I was constantly catching them at different depths and when casting it's as simple as changing the number you are counting to whereas with bobbers and minnows it's a lot of work to be constantly changing your depth.

    I showed surface water temp at 53-54.

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

    Great report! You're right about minnows getting in the way when the bite is that strong. Every motion takes time & when you multiply those little bits of time by several hundred strikes, inefficiency takes a chunk out of your day.
