Trip Of 5/11 &12

[straw hat]

I guess JMBC was right back on the 9th. The cats are in the rocks. The wife and I went to the CC area for a few hours on Fri evening and again today. We came up with 16 keeper crappie, 1 white, and 2 channels (a 2 and a 5.5 lber). Went back today and we had to put in a long day but we both managed to limit out on crappie, 3 channels (1.5, 2.5 and 3 lbs), and 2 whites. A picture of todays stringers is below. We were fishing a steep rocky bank. The crappie were mostly suspended at 14 to 18' and the bite was very light. The channels were 12 to 16'. We fished with large minnows, worms and fresh cut bait for the cats but ALL were caught on the large minnows. The water was fairly green with good visibility (about 3 feet) and the water temp was 71 degrees.

Nice trip Straw Hat. Looks like i fished the wrong areas at CC the other day. I threw jigs in the coves and only caught three small crappie. Hoping to get back up monday evening. Sounds like minnows may be the ticket?

Hey nwtf gobbler, I use those ultra lite Thill slip bobbers because they are so sensative to bites and you know how crtappie can be. Most of the bites the bobber never went under. The stem that stick out of the water would go down about 1/2 to 3/4" and just stay there. That was the bite!! As lite as they were hitting I don't know how aggressive they would have been to a jig or if you could even have felt the hit. After we were done I cast a jig just out of curiousity and didn't get any hits (That I felt anyway). lol

Hey Boobie, that living to 200 sounds great but I guess it depends on how my achey joints feel then as compared to now. lol But pain or no pain, you are right, live it up!! And there is only one way to do that....GO FISHING!!
