slider Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 THURSDAY NIGHT AGAIN. ME AND 3 OTHERS FROM WORK WERE AT WARSAW LAST NIGHT. HAD A PREATY GOOD NIGHT AROUND 80 FISH. ABOUT HALF CRAPPIE THE OTHER WHITES. ALL CAUGHT ON PURPLE OR BLUE BEETLES. TIGHTLINE TOOK A COUPLE OF PICTURES THAT HE WILL PROBABLE POST LATER. HE HAD A TRIP PLANED FORE TANEY THIS MORNING, PROBABLE CATCHING THE FIRE OUT OF THEM LIKE ALWAYS. SLIDER DONT EVER GIVE UP MOSES WAS A BASKET CASE ONCE!
Tightline Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Well I got the Crappie that I went for and had a blast.We started about 8:30 pm and fished till 11:40 and left.The Crappie were just thick and pretty good size 10-12 inchs.Of course you caught 4 little ones for every keeper.Thats the first time I have ever done any good on the south bank.SLIDER and Harper had the Whites cornered for a while,and they were using SLIDERS SECRET lure,(a blue Beetle).Here's a pic of our pile of fish.
Tightline Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Most of the Whites were really good sized,from 14-16 inchs.I caught a few in the 12 inch range and kept them,to me the smaller Whites are better to eat.But they are all pretty good to eat,especially those CRAPPIE!!!
Rusty Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 You are right about the crappie. Our family had a fish fry last weekend and the hostess fried up 20 lbs of crappie. It has been years since I have eaten crappie, and boy did that leave me craving more. Is there anyway you or slider can post photos of the area. I am trying to figure out if there is any room for back cast and such. It is a pretty good drive for me, just trying to eliminate driving all the way there, and finding out there isn't room. Thanks
Tightline Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Rusty,Slider and me discussed this on the way home the other night.We were thinking about how much fun that would have been to fly fish for them.We both believe that on the south side close to the water drainage and the walk way with the railing that goes down to the water a guy could use his fly rod.The water was not running and we actually stood on flat ground with some pea gravel on it.But if I go back,I will try to take pics of both sides. No way you could fly fish on the north side with all that riprap behind you,unless you are an excellent roll caster.
Rusty Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I am the roll cast gipper for sure. I appreciate your help, and thanks.
