Met a buddy at Frisco Line bridge after worked and we walked in and headed downstream. I had been messaging and talking with MNtransplant on the forum for a couple of years. I finally got to meet him in person and fish with him for a couple of hours last night. He met us over there a little bit later. He is a great guy and I was glad to be able to pass along a little bit of the info that I have gained from fishing the little sac for 13 or 14 years. The fish even cooperated decently. My buddy and I walked straight to the spot where we have found some crappie this year. We ended up catching 14 big enough to throw on a stringer, when we started catching all smalls we switched gears and started fishing for whites. MNtransplant met us right as we were switching to fish for whites. We started walking back up towards the Frisco trail and picking up some whites here and there. My buddy had to get back early so he headed towards the car. MNtransplant and I fished a deeper hole for the last 45 minutes of light or so and picked up a few walleye and some more whites. We ended the evening with 30-35 whites, 14 keeper crappie and several small ones, and 10 walleye. Only 5 of our walleye were keepers but that is the most total walleye myself or my group has caught in a single trip. The crappie all came on a white and chartreuse swimmin minnow on a 1/16 ounce leadhead while the whites and walleye were on a purple swimmin minnow on an 1/8 ounce leadhead.

Can't believe the walleye are still up there, I figured they had headed back to the lake.

 

Good report.

I think I know exactly where the crappie hole is you are talking about 😃

I was looking at my fish log for this year, we have cleaned 54 crappie this spring from the little sac... they all came from the same hole.

Thoroughly enjoyed it my friend! I'm convinced I'd be hard pressed to find someone with a deeper relationship with that stretch of river..fried those walleyes and whites for the family a couple hours ago! We'll have to do it again soon! Maybe I can convince you to come night fish with me on Taneycomo and I can try to do some of the teaching 😄.
