Fishing Report, Friday, 3 December

[Fireflies]

Put in at the State Park ramp and headed to the 215 bridge to take Straw Hat’s advice and fish the vertical legs of the bridge for crappie. The water temp was 51, the water was 43 ft deep and the fish we caught were 5 to 15 reel cranks off the bottom (over 30 feet deep). We were fishing with minnows and Jigs, but all fish were caught on minnows. We caught 6 keeper crappie with approx 5 shorts, 2 small white bass, 1 nice large mouth, and 2 walleye, one 20 inches, the second around 12 inches, both right off the bottom on minnows, we were letting out line until it hit bottom and then maybe 3 turns on the reel when the walleye hit. We fished until the wind got out of control around 3pm.

Happy Holidays to all who read here, and thanks to all that post here for this past years advice and reports, it has always helped.

Nice work and glad you caught some fish!! I haven't caught any that deep this fall but I didn't got the past few days so maybe they finally made a trip a little deeper. Walleyes always make a great dessert after a nice crappie dinner.
