bigugli Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Despite all the up and down temperatures, I have been getting out int the Niagara area for some slabs. Not a typical spring by any measure. Have not had any on fire days. Mornings being too cold, the crappie don't turn on until the last 2-3 hours of the day. When they do turn on they are plain crazy, smacking anything that moves. Bucktails have been working great. Caught one that swallowed my float.

kickingfrog Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Swallowed your float? You might want to set the hook sooner. It's fun when they're hot eh. It will be soon here, I hope, soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I would have to shovel the snow to get the boat out. We have about 4" and counting up to now. This weather is just ridiculous. 2 weeks ago at Cayuga Golf Course the parking lot was nearly full and folks out with shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappieperchhunter Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Nothing doing at any of my spring shore fishing crappie or perch spots yet Bruce. Glad to hear someone is getting out and getting bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netminder Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Nothing doing at any of my spring shore fishing crappie or perch spots yet Bruce. Glad to hear someone is getting out and getting bit. Same here. Ice and snow have meant I might be chasing trout before I find time to go for crappie.

misfish Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Those are crapzillas. I waiting for this winter to end to try a small lake. Between the rivers being blown and cold/windy days, it,s hard to get out any where up here. Edited April 4, 2016 by Brian B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted April 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Got out for the evening bite, yesterday, ahead of this latest cold front. Got a few blacks and whites in the 10'' range. I'm sure this latest front will have things screwed up for another 4-5 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike rousseau Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Just got my crappie gear organized... I've got 22 creeks and canals in an 8.5 mile stretch of shoreline marked out on my navionics to explore... I really wanna find a spot of my own by boat so I can go and relax and enjoy myself... Take the kids without worrying about guys cursing and littering in front if them... I've got a buddy that wants to explore with me next weekend...
