splashhopper Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 But, the brookie creek was running clear.... I tried spinners and floating worms in to the log jams.... nothing.... but I will try again.... Moved down stream to a reservoir that i fish a lot.... targeted pike.... lost one and then no more hits. Decided to target some panfish..... the crappies were on fire.... a LOT OF SMALL ones... and plenty of gills to be had.... I had the place all to myself all day.... Kept these ones for an afternoon snack Fishing the windy shores was a little tough.. but worth the effort..... net time I will go earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limeyangler Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 good job splash. Just wondering, do you happen to know what the water temp was where you were fishing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splashhopper Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I don't know what the temp was, but when I reached down a foot in to the reservoir to retrieve a lure I snagged up, the water was Warmer than the air I was standing in. Maybe I will get a portable thermometer?? I wonder if they have one that can be used when fishing from shore though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Nice slabs! Best eating fish ever!! Two of my fishing partners would disagree...they both prefer bluegills over crappie... Nice catch Ron... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
