Crappie Fishing Tuesday 17 Aug

[Fireflies]

Launched boat from west side ramp off HY 215 at the State Park. Fished up the west side of cove around point and down north side ( point B4). We were fishing for crappie using mainly minnows, followed up with white, silver metal flake, yellow, and black metal flake jigs with and with out spoons. Never really came a cross what I would call a school, seamed pretty spread out and moving 15 to 20 ft deep. Caught 3 9-9.5 inch crappie, 2 small mouth both around 14 inch, and several small to med blue gill. Everything we caught was on minnows, nothing was interested in the jigs we tried. Fished from 8am to 12 noon. Great day on the lake.

Don't feel bad Fireflies. I have fished that same area many times with very little success for crappie. I have caught a few keeper bass and walleye though.
