Sight fishing BIG crappie.

[limeyangler]

Hi all,

Went out today with no expectation to catch. To my surprise the water temperature was 63F in the south facing bays. After wading through a couple hundred small pike I found some crappie, in about 1'FOW, just sunning themselves, but not shy enough to ignore a fat minnow under a slip bobber, great fun sight fishing crappie. Got a nice walleye and an 18" smallie too.

them some slabs. Do you not keep the pike for eating I much prefer them to walleye.

If I rent a school bus. We could put 3 14ft tinnies on top and fit about 50 anglers in it. Anyone game? LOL

 

Those are grand slam slabs there Simon. Nice.

X2. Actually I prefer perch, bluegills crappie and small pike over walleye. We have a cottage in the kawartha's and I haven't harvested a walleye in over 10 years up there.

 

Looks like a good day Simon Thx for sharing it with us.
