Crappie Today

[dennisduckhunter]

Fishing this afternoon was very good. The warm temperatures definitely heated up the crappie Fished from 2 PM to 7. The fish were up shallow in 3 to 10 ft of water Caught a total of 50 fish and a nice limit of fish with the largest being a13.5 inch. Most we're in the 11 to 12 inch range. Used a road runner head with a red/ chartreuse twister tail. Water temp was 49

thanks for that very important info dennis. if you don't mind the questions, i have a couple.

i was out this afternoon and i only caught about 10 crappie and they

were from 7 feet and deeper also a few of them were smaller fish. i never found water warmer than 47 degrees.

i fished from halfway back to the back of the coves. i used a road runner also but it was white. do you

think my biggest problem was not using the right color? are you in the backs of the coves?

thanks for the info

Thursday should be really good if we get several days in the 70s this week like they are calling for.

I certainly hope so. Part of the problem has been the days have consisted of more colder temperatures than warming temperatures. The other day it got into the 60's but at 11am it had just started to get to 40 degrees.

I just went at the weather forecast. It looks to me like if we get a warm rain Monday the fishing door might just fly open.

Not sure if I am doing this correctly in responding to this quote I think it was a matter of finding brush piles with fish on them with the graph. I found them on the graph in deeper water and then fished shallower. The wind was blowing into this bank as well. I caught a lot of small Kentucky bass as well. I do not think color really mattered as I changed colors a number of times using white as well.i had never used power bait crappie nibbles before till last year and I definitely believe they work.
