bigugli Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) ALthough you folks to the north are still waiting for ice out, we've had 3 weeks of good crappie fishing, with the best yet to come. Those who expect 100 fish per hour, aren't usually willing to put in the time, and leave frustrated. The son and I on the other hand.... A lot of success is coming on a new line of jigs we started producing, and experimenting with, this spring. The son even started making his own floats. Gotta admit I'm having way too much fun.

livinisfishin Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 That is awesome! Going to try for spring crappie this year and hope i do half as good as you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishaholic Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Nice haul! About time we had some softwater reports! Nice to see the effort with the jigs is paying off. I haven't been out for any crappie yet this spring, but it would hit the spot after a winter of perch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappieperchhunter Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Awesome Bruce. I ended up working today I'm hoping for some open water perching next weekend...but the amount of ice out there might make me wait even longer then that.

bigugli Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) Despite the high winds we still had an OK day. Spot #1 is slowing down now as the bullheads and gills start moving in, but other spots are just starting to warm up. The boys' collection for a feed tonight This young girl insists in calling me Santa. Could be..... She has this one goose trained. It follows her around every time she visits the hole. http://i1161.photobucket.com/albums/q515/uglifinn/DSCN3972_zps52a4cd73.jpg Edited April 8, 2013 by bigugli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Those white crappie aren't caught much in Ontario. Good fishing! Generally, you don't see them north of the Great Lakes watershed, and a couple of pockets on the Ottawa R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 They lool like black crappie to me. Is that a white perch? Awesome catch anyway you look at it! Almost all blacks. There is a white in the sink pic. Yes that is a white perch. We often find a few in the 10-12" range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehg Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 They lool like black crappie to me. Is that a white perch? Awesome catch anyway you look at it! You are right. They are just more pale than Kawartha crappie, thus i mistook them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
