Spawn is winding down. Move out from the spawning beds. Their out feeding up.Are the crappie still hitting, or have I missed it?
Damn I wish I had gotten out over Memorial Day weekend at Eagle Creek to try the crappie. I used to know several crappie spots and one hot spot in particular, but it`s been years since I`ve fished there. I love catching crappie, and I think crappie are the best eating fish on the planet.View attachment 141299
Went out with pops today on Eagle Creek, caught over 40 on minnows and black/chartreuse jigs, kept 20 crappies and three catfish. 17 of the crappies still had eggs.
Going out again to catch the dawn/morning activity, I’ll follow up tomorrow!
Also: First time out fishing with dad in probably ten years. I was quite rusty, we lost an anchor (really bad snag), some of our minnows died off pretty quick, and I’m a little sunburnt, but it was a great time.
Dadgum man...I had a shower 30 mins after a couple side jobs, then I found a pond I saw a couple summers ago that I've been thinking about since.
I caught my p.b. largie! I didn't get a weight but I know it was over my previous p.b. of 4.75lbs.
Measured my rod as a reference, and looked up average weights per length online. It was just shy of 20", which puts it at about 4.5 lbs... not a p.b. but im ok with it. It made my day, and a number won't take my joy away.Dadgum man...
Where are the bikinis?Guys trip with the BILs while in SC a couple days ago. This was one of the tasty trouts that we fried up.

I was on Wawasee Wednesday and had a duster over me. Just small gills and perch that day. And jet skis.I headed out this morn to do a little bass fishing a little later than I like but it was nice. 3rd on the lake so I headed to the far end for privacy. It was enjoyable watching the eagles and osprey compete for breakfast. No bass hits and then it happened. Crop duster and I was was right under his turn around. I think he must have sprayed halt of the county. Let the south wind drift me to the other end of the lake and picked up a mess of 'gills on the way. End of rant. Jay
