We're in another weekend "Indian Summer" this weekend with temperatures in the sixties. I hope the crappies remember they're supposed to bite. They forget sometimes when the weather swings too wildly in either direction.
After a suspenseful few minutes of having our bait in the water Dave scores first with a nice average crappie for this lake.
Then it was my turn for a crappie to bite my minnow.
Kind of like watching tennis but Dave and I took turns catching crappies and had a great time.
A bonus bass took my float down and came to the surface for a picture. I eyballed him in the 2# range. Nice and stocky bass filling up before winter he pulled hard enough to take drag a few times before I landed him. If you look closely you can see the Custom Jigs and Spins Diamond jig in gold color on his upper lip.
We packed up our things after we used most of the minnows we had brought. It was a nice morning and a nice time spent out fishing with my friend Dave. We caught 15-20 quality crappie the biggest being 11.5" but more importantly we enjoyed a morning out catching.
Hopefully we won't have any more of these weekends where we hit 60 degrees in December. Ice showed up for a fleeting few days as the temperatures stayed down low enough to let it happen last week. Now we've got 60 degrees. Winter, come and give us ice!
Can you tell I'm ready?
