Norfolk 4/22/14 Fishing Report

[Ham]

I fished with my Father in Law from 0900-1700. We were hoping to get into some crappie. They had been biting, but today was MUCH slower according to ppl we talked to on the water.

I did a lot of searching and eventually a lot of catching.

Sunny weather and clear water are a bad mix. We did not catch a crappie until I went way up a major creek and found off color water.

Quite the multi species day. White Bass, Hybreds, Smallies, LMB, Spotts, Black and White Crappie, Bluegill, and a Walleye.

But only one keeper crappie was caught. I had 38 fish. My father in law had less, but he caught more than a few.

I busted out the Ned for about 30 minutes and caught 6 bass and lost about three more. That little sucker was on fire. I can only imagine what a full day fishing the Ned would have been like.
