Ian,
Thanks. That is by far the best I have done for Crappie in Washington IN THE WINTER. I dont fish in the winter for them all that often. I fished Lake Stevens 3 times this winter going back to December and have been blanked each time on crappie. Im not sure there are even crappie in that lake but I hear there are.
I posted the recent report on Washingtonlakes.com and some guy jumped all over me for keeping 7 crappies between 9 and 10. I try to conserve but I mean come on, I kept 7 crappies, it isn't like I fished it out. I was over a nice school for 3 1/2 hours. All in all we caught 13 and we released 6.
Also, I will travel down South to go fishing if there are good lakes down there. All last year we traveled to the other side of the state to fish walleye, no reason not to drive south for good crappie fishing. I would think lake Washington would be a dynamite Crappie fishery considering it gets limited pressure. I have only fished L Washington 3 times and each time it was jigging perch.
