Crappie time

[littlejon]

Got out on the pond today. Caught a total of 47. A total of 5 spots and 42 crappie. All the spots were small. Most of the crappie were small but I did manage one that weighed right at 1.9 pounds.. I'm still trying to get that 3 pounder. All released for you to go get them. I hope everyone can get out this week and do a little fishing water temps are getting up and the fishing is right. Tight lines!

You released all those tasty morsels? Why?

I'm not a big fish eater and too much to do when I got home

How did you catch them? Longline or single pole?

Minnows, or jigs? Color?

Inquiring (nosy) minds want to know!

I’m confused. You say you released them but I see a bunch of fish laying in the boat in the first pic. ?????

Very nice. I release all crappie big enough to fillet into very warm peanut oil.

A crappie will live a pretty good while out of water. Probably just a dump em out photo shoot and throw em off the bow.

Single pole - I've been known to troll a single pole or two

Jigs, multiple colors. Minnows would of worked as well or better

Each time I caught one I threw it in the live well. (except for some) At the end of the day I took them out of the live well and placed them on the front deck. Took a pic and tossed them into the lake. Look closely, one has flopped airborne off the deck.

Back out today for 3 hours. Better size today. Biggest just over 16". First season dedicated to crappie and I have figured a few things out. Still looking for that 3 pounder but my bigger fish seem to have similarities in their behavior.
