Wore out the Crappie today

Fished today for 4 hours and caught 35~ Crappie. kept 10 all over 10 inches with the biggest 4 at 12, 13, 13.5 and 14 inches. Now I have me some nice crappie Fillets and some crappie heads frozen which I will use for Bluecat bait in the Dan or Neuse. Tactic today was to throw to shallow stumps and brush in 3-5 ' of water, using Kalns Acid Rain grub on A Monks Chartruese head. The crappie are way shallow now but right at dark they moved to 6-7 ft deep.

I'll probably be going after them myself later today. Since the cove froze over for about three weeks they moved out and haven't come back in the numbers they were present in before.

Nice catch!

Muddy as can be here, but I bet smaller waters will fish pretty well this week.

I'm glad you kept that a secret because nobody else fishes those lakes. We wouldn't want more people doing it.

No problem
..figured 26000 acres would give them enough. You got to remember most of the guys out there catch squat. 10 percent of the fishermen catch 90 percent of the fish. If you are in the 90 percent that catches 10 percent you worry about other fishermen. If you are in that 10 percent that catches 90 percent of the fish other fishermen don't bother you...

Water temp was low 50s sunday i figured they were making there way to shallow water. I wonder how theyll react to the crazy temperature fluctuations of the next couple of weeks.

Good stuff!! I love me some crappie fillets! It’s getting real close to the time of year I caught my personal best out there on one of those piedmont lakes. Friend and I caught a couple hundred that weekend.

If that were true, assuming you are part of the top 10% that catch 90%, you would just say which lake and maybe even post the GPS coordinates, because other fishermen don't bother you.

You can't be the 90% of the guys that catch "squat" because you are always posting fish...

Have I got this figured out?

Bud, I don't think you have figured anything out on this forum.

I actually told my son that he needed t o go there today and take a friend and I also told Aki who is one of my fishing friends and they all met up out there today and caught some. Nothing better than putting some fine young me all 21 years old on some fish. One of them had a birthday today .

I'm just trying to make sense of your post. Thanks for helping. :)

Am I safe to assume that it wouldn't bother you if some 90%er was all up in your crappie hole rooting out fish before you got there? That wouldn't bother you?

Uh, I had 3 90 percentage guys on my crappie hole yesterday. I told them where to go. Not following your line of thinking. But that is not surprising with the stuff you post.

I was in no shape to fish on my 21st birthday unless fishing in the cooler counts. :cool:

Nice catches mack.
