I finally got my kayak. An incredibly generous friend bought it for me for my birthday earlier this month. It's an emotion stealth 11 angler kayak. I can't ...more wait to get it out on the water.
Details: Black Crappie
After catching the last crappie I figured out that they were in a lower water column than the bluegill so I changed out the Berkeley maggot for a Berkeley minnow ...more on my bluegill pole and fished it lower. I caught 10 crappie and another 3 came off before I could bring them in. 4lb invisigreen line, 1/32 oz jig hook, bobber and Berkeley minnow. Small twitches on the pole to move the minnow.
Details: Black Crappie
Caught my first black crappie ever. I was fishing my bluegill setup with a small float, 1/32 oz jig hook and a Berkeley maggot. I fished it closer to the bottom ...more at about 3ft of depth and the crappie inhaled it. Caught about 30ft from the dock at Spring Lake.
