Sorry to post late fishing reports. I've been so dang busy ! I do have one from today though.<br /><br />3/23/16...We got a late start around 1:00 pm. The winds were almost dangerous that day so we stayed tucked away in a slough. The bite was pretty good and we caught a few more white crappie than black that day. I guess it was our location ? The black crappie were some dark males that are showing up more and more now. Debbie caught a bucket-mouth white crappie within five minutes of fishing. Crappie Dawgs and Panfish Assassins on 1/16th and 1/32 oz. Road Runner jig heads. All fish were released.<br /><br />3/26/16... A solo trip for me. The bite was great and I caught seven species of fish. The stump pattern in shallow water. The fish seemed to prefer light colored jigs instead of very bright. I didn't count but probably around 25 crappie and all black crappie. Crappie Dawgs and Panfish Assassins on 1/32 oz. jig heads. I kept a few for the freezer and released a couple of large females with eggs.<br /><br />3/27/16... A short trip today produced 31 crappie including a "magnum" warmouth for Debbie. It was a little over 9.25 inches and heavy. It's her personal best and the largest I've ever seen. Crappie Dawgs - Panfish Assassins - Bobby Garland jigs on 1/32 oz. jig heads. All fish were released.<br /><br />Life is good. emoThumbsup
