Following the Crappie

[Out4trout]

A trip for crappie this week with Doug, but the Crappie were NOT where they were earlier. 3 hotspots checked with zero fish. Seems that the cold rain, cloud and falling temps pushed them out of the shallows.

Eventually our persistence paid a dividend, as we finally found them again. They were in deeper water, and were strongly relating to a submerged weed bed from last year. Catching was fast and furious, a cloud would come, bite turned off. Sun breaks again, and back on the bite. Somewhere around 35 caught, 22 or so eaters came back for dinner.

It's not every day that a fellow drives a couple hundred miles for crappies............

But they were on the menu here last night, first feed of fresh crappies for the year, yum yum!

Len, you forgot to mention I took off my snowmobile suit for the picture...............

Looks like ya trimmed a little Doug. Less beard, less chance of sailing away in a strong wind.

Good fishing.

Semi-annual shearing, get it done at Easter and Christmas whether it needs it or not............

Yep, those winds yesterday would have turned my head if I had my full beard on............
