Fellows Report 5-29

Went and hit fellows looking for some crappie on Memorial day.  Fishing was good, fish were a lot deeper than they had been.  Found the fish in 12 to 17 feet of water in and around weed beds.  Bites were aggressive but the fish were scattered you really had to cover water working in and around weeds to get bites and when you got one there would be a flurry of bites for about 5 minutes then the school would move on you.  Tried fishing wood thinking they would be more concentrated there but didn't have much luck.  We had a 40+ fish day and of those only 3 came off brush piles the rest were in the weeds.  There were a lot of quality 10" or better fish and as always when fishing weeds there were plenty of small crappie as well but that is a good thing to see, should be plenty of fish for the next few years.  Lot of people out there that day and saw a lot of them catching fish, even saw a guy pull out a 40" muskey so that was pretty cool.
