Standard Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 With the regular season closed here, I've been hitting up the driftless region for some fly fishing. Still learning, but I've managed to get at least one the last few trips. Luckily flies cost a lot less than lures, as I'd be bankrupt with the amount I've been leaving in the trees. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User Team9nine Posted April 29, 2023 Super User Share Posted April 29, 2023 Spent two days this week checking out the status of the crappie spawn in a local reservoir. Ended up with about 140 fish over the two afternoons. Fish are just hitting the spawning grounds here, but this burst of cooler, wet weather has most holding just outside the spawning areas in 4’-8’ of water. Next good warm spell should start the fireworks ? 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with my parents the last two afternoons on a small lake for 3 hours each day and between the three of us we caught 150+ of them. Most of them are about palm size, very few big ones. A few sunfish and perch mixed in. Constant action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better stay home and tend to her. Maybe tomorrow if she's doing better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Jar11591 Posted April 29, 2023 Super User Share Posted April 29, 2023 Im jealous. I haven’t been on a good crappie bite in a long time. My favorite fish to eat. I catch them every now and then while bass fishing, but when I target them all I end up with is a stringer full of perch and pumpkinseeds.

I would rather bass fish than panfish. Right now crappies are one of the only legal targets until May 13. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBasslayer Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I caught a Michigan Master Angler crappie today! He was really close to 15 inches, and the master angler requirement is 14 inches. I also caught a small bass that wanted the Vision 110. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Rutten Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 This little dude and a few of his friends were kind enough to help to break in my first bfs setup, they fight like the devil for their size. I think I’m going to like this bfs thing. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thediscochef Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Born to fish, forced to Wipe(r) Finally found something other than gar feeding on the threadfin spawn. Things seem to be slowing down a bit in the spawn areas I'd found, but I assume it won't fully be done until after 5/5 full moon. Work for the next five days so no fishing 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User gimruis Posted May 4, 2023 Super User Share Posted May 4, 2023 My first outing of the season was pretty good. Caught about 25 crappies with a few quality sized slabs mixed in. I have a crappie contest on Saturday so at least I have a plan. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a "western" fish (a large predatory minnow). Another name for them is Pike Minnow. There are several species (three or four, I think). We have a Sacramento Pike Minnow where I live, but there is also a Colorado Pike Minnow, and a Northern Pike Minnow (there might be another). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of fun to catch though, lots over 20" and they eat the same lures as Bass up here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
