Crappie 1/7/23

[Lance34]

Couldn’t ask for a better weather Saturday…. Light wind and almost 50 degrees launching at 7…  Took a gentlemen out wanting to learn more on how to slow vertical troll…  The bite was a lot more tougher than previous trip…  They bit really finicky…. They come up look at it forever, run off scared or just quick strike it…. I don’t know if it was the full moon phase or just having mostly big minnows that you could’ve fillet…. I prefer 2 inch minnows or smaller…. Those just seem to be the most consistent bite for Beaver….  We shut it down a little before 1 with him taking home 15 or so crappie…. WT was 41…. Pea green water clarity…. Lake elevation 1118.5…. Caught them in 12-10 fow…. Raking the bottom or just a couple feet off….  Setup was 16ft BnM BGJP’s with 1/2oz Capps and Coleman double minnow rigs and 1/2oz home made rigs I tie up myself using Vanguard Tackle and Pico Lures 1/16 Scope eye chartreuse jig head with a yellow/white and pink/white tube….  They just being typical Beaver Lake crappie yesterday I guess…. Trying under stand theses fish here is like trying to understand a woman….  

Back at it again next week…. Good fishing and God Bless

I know you've got high standards based on your past success, but 15 crappie is not a bad day of fishing on Beaver.
