I went out for a little this evening and caught a small largie, and that was it.
do u guys know where the perch are right now, how deep are they?
i caught one when i was at kenmore that was about 11"-12". it was in about 4' of water and was very skinny. it's vent was also very red and raw. it looked like it had spawned out.
t(s)tinner and I went out yesterday for a few hours. The fishing was slow for the bass. We both only got one smallie. Lots of crappie and a perch or two with a couple tiny bluegill thrown in. I was gonna do a big report on the crappie spawn but my camera batteries were dead.....and I was hung over:(. I did a little chumming thanks to the hang over:D Thanks for hanging in there with me T.
The crappie are starting to spawn on the bigger lakes. Males and females are in about 6 feet of water. None of the males had on the dark spawning colors yet so I'd guess that they'll be on beds by next weekend with the full moon coming. We caught some nice sized ones out there. T even caught one on a 4inch grub.
Hey guys - check out the Aqua-vu website, they have underwater video footage shot by Larry Gonzcy of Auburn Sports Marine most of which was shot in Lake Washington-- cool pics of crappie and jumbo perch, ect. I think Larry passed away recently. later
Het Spud That's The @!#@@ !!! Are The Pictures Recent?
yeah slab, thanks for the ride it was nice and even got to do a lil bikini watching...i mean casual glancing. had a great time even though i suck as a fisherman. guys if you havent fished with slab yet i will give you one piece of advice. dont turn your back on him, if you do he will have caught fish and put them back without you ever knowing it he is that on it. it seemed like every cast the man was pulling in a crappie and i was doing the exact same thing (almost eh slab) he was doing. it just goes to show that time on the water is what it is all about. its rare for someone to just be a natural i believe.
til next time SK.
i meant that i was applying the same tactics as slab not pulling a fish in on every cast. hardly.
were u guys fishing washington or union for the crappie
they might tell you......
Merely being the passenger and guest on SK's magic carpet I dont feel its appropiate for me to divulge the location but if you happen upon a bright trail of chum your getting closer than you probably want to be :p
ScaleCarp i see you.. welcome!
Hi guys, new member here. I've been lurking for a while and have finally decided to join and hopefully contribute a little in the near future. See some familiar names here from other forums, especially the celebrity of crappie fishing - Slabking;) Oh by the way, thanks for the report slab and t(s)inner. Your report will guide me to where I'll be fishing for slabs this weekend:)
Thanks, Kokanee King! Hope to get to know y'all real soon...
T is right....follow the chum slick:D. We were out on a zipperlip lake. I know.....I hate that too but this place is loaded with nice crappie and they are not a listed species. Water temp was 65-66 at most every spot we tried. I still can't figure out why the bass fishing was so darn slow. Oh well, I guess that gives me another reason to try again this weekend ;). This time I will post a big report with pics......and I wont have a hang over!!
Welcome aboard Scalecarp!!!!
i will look forward to the report with pics :D . i need some insperation (can't seem to get many myself :( ). sounds like you have one jem of a lake.

Hey slab maybe you would like to meet out on the water this weekend...... fallow you out or jump in da boat with ya, its up to you if you even wat to look at me.
