Dr Phil and I had a good 2.5 to 3 hour crappie fishing trip this morning. It was nice and calm early and sunny. Mirror glass surface for a while, then the wind picked up out of the north and the bite then began to subside. The bite picked up around 9 or so and was pretty good for about an hour. That coincided with my fishintime watch. We fished until about 10:30 or so and put the boat on the trailer. We landed about 12 or so keepers and had several throwbacks and Pat gave us a couple of fish for Dr Phil&#39;s dinner. <br /><br />Two white crappie and all the rest were black crappie. We kept 11 nice quality fish up to 13.75 inches. I&#39;m trading crappie for venison. emoBig
I located another nice deep break on structure that was loaded with crappie, but we were on the way to the ramp and I only put a waypoint on it. I&#39;ll save that for another day. It looked like a massive stump or car sized boulder. It had fish over the top and on the side of it. It was in 20 feet of water. <br /><br />Water temp this AM was 69.3 when we started. I&#39;m glad to see the temps dropping and they will drop like a rock in a couple more days. Predicted to be 29 for a low Friday night. All the fish will get frisky then. emoThumbsup emoDance emoFish emoBig emoGeezer <br /><br />Our fish were caught deep on 1/16 oz Bobby Garland Jigs in combo colors. Dr Phil caught one of my pets and a trashy green spotted bass.
