Crappie Wall Hanger II
Suffolk Lake 5-25
Hit one of the Suffolk lakes today for bluegill, shellcracker and crappie. The first two didn't want to cooperate, but the crappie played pretty good after 1300. I arrived at 1100 and left at 1630. I ended the day with a bunch of little bluegill (one keeper) and a tad more than 40 crappie. I kept 8 crappie, 2 at 12", 2 at 11" and the other four were between those. Over half the fish I caught were 11"+. All fish caught on 1/32 oz. head with a wide variety of plastics. Color didn't seem to matter today. Find the fish and they would bite.

Did you catch any of the catfish that seem to be everywhere. Thanks for the report.

Yes. They certainly get annoying, don't they? All the cats I caught were bullheads. Some were pushing 3 lbs.Originally Posted by South Paw

I hit Burnt Mills on Monday for 5.5 hours and netted 38 but most were around 9" with only one at 12". I caught most of them casting a pearl BGBS about 2.5' below a bobber along any weed line in 5' of water.

It was good seeing you on the water Kevin. WE ended up with 10 for the frying pan. I'll give you a holler later today.

South Paw, I mainly cast for crappie. I did experiment with a jig below a bobber that day, but I had much more action casting. I've long-lined for crappie in ponds quite often, but I really prefer to cast.

Thanks Kevin M and others for your reports. I'll have to try the jig and bobber where they are thick.
