Out4Trout Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) Managed to get out for some Crappie fun again last night. Got to my favourite spot - no crappie!! Water level was down, only 2 perch and a LM bass... :? !!!So I changed to a different spot that looked promising - haven't fished it before for slabs... Fish on!!! This time I hit PAYDIRT... the slabs are a bit larger than at my prev spot, and man were they ON FIRE!! Dinnerplate Slabs 12.5" SLAB 10 keepers, as well as the requisite Perch for garnish ... Had a great time - Slaying the Slabs... looking fwd to the dinner bell... A few tips For anyone who hasn't caught crappie yet - here's a couple of tips...get your boat anchored near an inflow in shallow water (6-8'). Drop anchor - toss out the jig under a bobber... ideally near structure. Tug - stop - wait - tug - stop - wait - hey - bobber is moving sideways - Sweep set the hook - repeat...

crappieperchhunter Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 A lot of posts on here this spring of small crappie that I would never consider keeping. Nice to see a picture of some decent slabs for a change. Thx for sharing, and enjoy your fish fry!!!!
Terry Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 some good looking fish there, I haven't had much luck on crappie this spring
Joeytier Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 Nice going. Those are some giant crappie.
