Thread: potholes report

wind, wind, and more wind. it was at least 15mph-25mph every day, all day . friday afternoon i headed out to hutchinson and could only get about 15 bluegill. on saterday we went out to hutchinson again but didn't get any hits. i was so desparate i went to hampton lake to see if i could get a trout. that didn't work out so well but did get a good tip from a game warden about were to get some crappie. he told me that he had seen some guys at soda lake getting some from the shore. so i headed out to the lake expecting to get nothing and in the first 5 minutes i hook into one. most of them were only about 6" like the first one i caught but they kept it interesting. so i keep fishing thinking there will only be small ones like that one but then i hook into a good one that got off at the surface that was about 9"-10". after about 3 hours of fishing i got 5 keepers over 9" with 3 at about 10". also caught about 15 or more that went about 6". today i went back to the same spot and could only get one over 9"(released) and a few small crappie and bluegill. all in all it was an ok trip and would have been a great trip if there wouldn't have been any wind. here are some pictures of the crappie i got. the top ones are from saterday and the bottom one is from today.
