limeyangler Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Hi all, Between night shifts today i decided to go for an hour session to see if the crappie were done their spawn or not. I was thinking i'd missed the spawn already as the fishing had been slow for them so far this year. I was wrong.....temps are now around 60-62F and the crappie are stacked up in the shallows where they normally are. Slip bobbers or micro jigs and minnows worked well( 1/8 ounce jig under the bobber). Took more time to clean them than to catch them!

When I'm on the shore by myself, I'm singing "signed sealed delivered" or "help from my friends"!!!! haha, must be us foreigners living up in NW Ontario??? Nice slabs bro, I got some pics coming up to make you jealous as well lol. (FYI, prefish walleye, lower Manitou trout, NW Bay crappie) I'm saving up dooood!!!!!!
