Crappie

1.17.21 Trenton Catfish!

Trenton fishing, tried out a spot I have been seeing people at a lot lately, let’s call it the point. It’s the end of the center bank on the far side of the lake right off the sunken tree line. We were fishing from 6 to 9 feet, the basin was 9 ft, and then it jump up to shallow right near shore. We got fish in all areas but right on that ledge seemed really good. Caught lots of fish, pike, walleye, catfish, crappie, and white bass. The “squid” rattle spoon in rainbow worked great.

We caught fish all day, was calm and around 25 degrees. Day before was crazy warm and pretty windy.

Went looking for crappie again at Lewis and Clark at the docks. Did not find any again but found more small pike. They loved these jigging raps. I also saw a group out in middle of bay on a small hump catch Cisco and a large 13lb pike.

Cranking for eyes 5.31.19

Went out on my boat alone today and managed some fish. Water is darker than has been due to June rise staring, was super slow on lindys so switched to cranks and picked some nice fish up. Gold cranks was the color in about 13 to 14 ft at 2 to 2.5 mph

5.28.19 my boat is nice!

Went out with Haley and Amanda today on a lovely 75 degree day with light South winds, that ended up making for some waves but it was still super nice. We caught 5 walleye, 4 keepers, all at 15ish feet. Also picked up some big drum, a huge crappie, and some white bass. White bass ate shallow and spawning so havn’t caught a lot of big ones from boat. We were using minnows and lindy rigs. People are still doing good from shore for walleye too.
