Fishing 5/17/11

Weather looked pretty good and wind wasn't supposed to be too bad last Tuesday so my friend Van and I drug the boat out to Perry. Started a little slow with it getting pretty cold that night but once the sun got higher we started lighting them up pretty good. Van stuck the first keeper that was 5 even.

2 docks later he stuck a 4 pounder and I stuck a 3 pounder at about the same time, didn't take a picture of mine because we caught several 3 pounders.

Finished fishing those docks and ran to the marina by the dam where I caught my first keeper over 18".

ran around and caught several more nice fish including a 4 pounder I forgot to take a picture of before I tossed it back. Lots of crappie fisherman out there even though it was a weekday. We ran back to the docks Van had caught his bigger fish on and I caught a 5 pounder off the same dock he caught his 4lb fish off of. It looked like the same fish and was 5 pounds on the nose just like his but mine was missing a piece from the bottom of its tail and his wasn't.

Would have had around a 21lb limit, not bad on any lake in Kansas.
