Crappie Fishing Report

[shockley32]

It was great to get out after a seven week stint on the DL. Sure have been missing the water. Discovered two things today

1) My knee isn't ready to go fishing yet

2) I have really really missed fishing!

Fished about four hours and two of us ended up with 25 keepers, if I could have taken it longer we should have finished out limits. Fished standing timber from 2 - 20 feet of water. The crappie were anywhere from 6 inches to 15 feet deep. Fished with 1/16th oz jig head and they would hit it on the fall. Colors: blue/black/chart, red/chart, pink/melon, white/yellow/chart, white/blue/chart.

We caught probably three 8 7/8" crappie for every keeper. Should be excellent fishing as soon as they eat another shad or two! We'll see what happens with the proposed draw down in a couple of weeks.
