Sunday Report

[Crappie5]

We started out at 5:00 am around Big M throwing top water. The moon was out and the sun coming up at the same time. My partner was throwing a spook and I was on the fin. after 45 min he had 8 small ones on the spook and one nice 17 incher. Me on the fin only one blow up that I missed. Every point we hit after that was completely dead we headed towards the bridge and seen some fish surfacing across from point 23. we snuck in on top of them and first three cast on the spook all hooked up I did not give up on the fin. Once the fish settled down I managed 6 shorts and 1 nice fat 16" kentucky. It was now 8:00 and we could not buy a top water fish and fish were still surfacingh all over. We headed towards Campbell point to try one last top water spot and managed 4 more shorts all on the fin. We then proceeded to drop shot crawlers and a chompers purple lam. We finished the day at 11:00 with 17 fish on the drop shot with only 3 of the 17 that would eaisly keep. I would say the majority came off the crawlers but several came off the chompers purple Lam.

We stopped at a point just pass the bridge because we seen several fish surfacing. this was 10:00. We could not catch anything and really could not tell what they were because they were always way out or just did not come up out of the water enough to see them. Was for sure they were not carp or gar though. This just kept on and on so we decided to tie on some rattle traps and troll around a bit to see what we could do. Not sure what was surfacing but we caught 6 walleye all about 18". Then an older gentlemen who owned a dock and house in there came through trolling a fat sassy shad rap and caught 3 over 20" and 7 just under keeper size. Do walleye surface like this?

I have seen walleye roll here in kansas ahead of a storm and on cloudy rainy days.

Crappie5, fished the same area on Sunday. Fished by myself and had around 22 fish. Had a 4# LM on a c-rig early and a few other keepers on the FB jig. Around 12:30 went to jerking the spoon on the deep docks with good numbers but few keepers.

Not sure on the fish surfacing but it sure is fun to catch the long ugly's every once and a while.
