Trip Report 5-7

[Professor Jim]

I know this is only somewhat timely as it's been a couple days. However, I put in Friday morning at CC just in time for the cold front. Caught some crappie shallow around timber and started moving around to find better/more of them. Finally found a bunch in a deeper cove somewhat up the lake from the ramp. Most were caught in 8-12' of water on a 3/16 oz jig head with a 3" green pumpkin and chartreuse grub. This usuallykeeps the small ones away, but not that day. Caught about 400" of crappie, 9" at a time. At least I wasn't bored. Is there any pattern to finding the bigger ones? I only had two that were legal and I disgustedly put those back into the lake.

Don't feel bad. I took my old boss last Sunday. Caught 125 in 3hours and only had a few keepers. The small ones were on Shiners and the Keepers were on a 1/4 oz yellow maribou jig and cork.
