Mid January Crappie.

Managed to squeeze in another short session, glad I did, we had fish Tacos for supper. Some nice size ones too, which made up for not getting my limit.

Have you eaten crappie? I like them essay more than walleye.

Crazy weather seems to be the norm now.

Man are those ever nice. I don't think I've ever seen crappie that big.

Green with envy here.  😁

Do you fish that tungsten jig bare?  I use perch eyeballs on them, for jumbo perch........

Thanks for taking us along on another little jaunt. Big slab crappies and a great incidental walleye. Nice

There are some nice ones up here for sure, I guide all summer long here, and all the guys from the US say they get numbers down there but not numbers and the size we have here.

This whole tungsten thing is a new thing for me this year, I’ve tried with whole minnows, minnow head and plastics, to be honest they’re like any other bait I use, sometimes they’ll munch a Smokey on a rope and some days doesn’t matter what you throw at them, they’re being picky.

About 55 years or so ago I had a black crappie in the freezer that was quite big that I caught at Stokes Bay I was going to have mounted. It was cold this one day so I though I'd defrost the freezer. I put everything outside in the baskets. Upon bringing every thing  in the house and back into the freezer I noticed my black crappie was missing. It had to be my German Shepard, He never touched the beef or anything else just the crappie. I think he was ticked off at me because we hadn't been fishing for a spell as I seldom went without him. We never did see it again, not even the bag it was in Haha. I've never caught another that big. Happy Days.
