Crappie

I've been catching crappie at the Jackson Co. lakes lately. Brought in 55+ over the weekend, none over 13", but have caught a bunch in the 10-11.5" range. Hitting minnows on a red or chartruse jig head, 2-3' deep near brush, within 15' of the bank. Females are not quite ready yet, but getting aweful close.

I also happened to catch a walleye at Jacomo Sat. evening. It was the first time I've caught one, it was small, under 12" and was released, but I didn't know there was walleye in that lake.

Good report dave-t.

I am continuing my streak at MTL this pass weekend.

Never claimed to be the best fisherman. Just need to work on my techniques, because I saw plently of fish on the finder. Just not a lot of stacked up crappies. So guessing they were either bream, bass, catfish or carp. As they were the ones breaking and slapping the water.

Sounds like carp, it's their breeding season too.

Yup it was the infamous carp for sure.
