Topic: Went crappie phishing, yesterday.

1st time out on the water in over 2 months due to my recent surgery. Struggled to find fish but ended up with 15 nice keepers. All in all a nice day on the water even though it got up to 97 degrees.

Re: Went crappie phishing, yesterday.

I love crappie fishing so much. I just got a canoe so I can explore mountain lakes and ponds. Hoping to get in to some crappie out here.

Re: Went crappie phishing, yesterday.

Sounds like a perfect day, NELA ... so glad you could get out. We don't have Crappie, Bluegills, or their sunfish relatives in this part of the world.

However, some of the little curly-tail grubs used for them are also pretty good for trout up here. Our nights are cooling down now (42 last night) so the cooling waters and shorter daylight hours will be triggering the Fall spawning runs of brook trout and brown trout.
