Went out Friday to see if the crappie were up yet. Yup, caught 21 coulda cought alot more but wasn't greedy. I you like fried crappie this is the time of year to get a bunch. they seem to be plentiful. I don't think many people fish for them. I store mine in a foodsaver, they last alot longer. They are alot of fun to catch on ultra light tackle too. Taking the wife with me tomorrow afternoon. A small jig under a bobber does the trick, I was using chartruse color.
