JohnP Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Good day to be water, none to light wind and decent temps. Only could fish for a couple hours before having to get my son to work. Managed to put 14 crappie in the livewell along with a decent bluegill. All caught on soft plastic jigs on 1/8th oz jig heads vertical jigging over brush in 16 to 18 fow. Color didn't seem to matter as we caught them or had hits on every color we tied on. Lost quite a few jigs but seemed like we did best dropping the jig in the brush and trying to finesse them around the limbs. Shortest crappie was 10.5 inches biggest was right at 14.5 inches.

BilletHead Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Nice job John, Last Evening I thought I might try to fish today and then I devised another plan and caught these instead. Kind of a last ditch effort before the freeze up. It is so warm one of these nice new friends of mine was carrying a little leach .

JohnP Posted December 21, 2017 Author Posted December 21, 2017 Congrats on the green Marty. Can't say as if I've ever seen a leach on a duck before. Definately been a odd season. Hopefully this cold front will bring things back to some normalcy. BilletHead 1

My problem on little waters is the H2O gets too hard for me. 23 minutes ago, JohnP said: Congrats on the green Marty. Can't say as if I've ever seen a leach on a duck before.
