This thread is really making me want to do some crappie fishing.   :smt007  Maybe to late in the season ?

crappie fishing was pretty good at lake Mendo this time of year.   They were just off the first break hitting crawlers and minnows.

Where in the column to they tend to be oriented this time of year? I've been getting a good amount of small bass and bluegills with a drop shot rig with crawlers but no lunkers.

I was getting them a foot or 2 above the bottom just as the bottom was dropping off. In about 15fow.  Even got a few on the troll looking for stripers.

A few results from a few ponds around my area. Hopefully it warms up soon so I can go out and do it again

All freshwater panfish are good. I love the taste of bluegills the best. And maybe it's just me, but the smaller ones seem to have the most flavor.

Yep, was fishing for LMB on dropshot rig when I hooked this one. She was a big girl, but I was sorry I had hooked her. She had roundworms coming out of her mouth and gills, wasn't going to survive. So I took her home and ate her.  :smt009  :smt010

Still feel guilty about it, taking a big breeder like that. She did taste good fried up and went down easy with a pint of 805 tho!  :smt044
