    Default The Weekend Before Last


    I went fishing in Carolina the weekend before last, on Saturday, November 22. That was a great day of fishing. The morning was beautiful too:

    I started fishing around 7 am, and by 9 had six fish on the stringer. Then, I twiddled my thumbs for two hours waiting for the next bite.

    The lull ended at 11:15, and by 1 pm I had boated 33 crappie. I threw back six dinks.

    When I finished and looked at the stringer, I had 27 on there. So, I threw back 7 more to keep it honest and decent.

    Those fish were in 8’ of water, right before the depth rose to 6’. The water temperature was a cool 43 degrees, and only semi-stained. I was spider-rigging a jig/minnow combo at a depth of 6’. Chartreuse and Cajun Cricket colors were good second-choices by the fish.

    Good luck fishing!

    I caught two on this trip. One was 11" and ended up on the stringer. She had eggs. I've heard the same...Jan 15th is when it gets going.

    Thanks, Vic. Nothing worth bragging about, though...all fish were between 10" and 12.5" long.
