The wifey and I found a good crappie hole in a local lake. Minnows and an extra small hook (like a #16) have been the ticket.
We are catching them on Duncan Lake. All crappies---- All in the 1 1/2 to 2 lbs range.
Caught 25 on Sun,
34 on Mon,
Tue gave em a break,
Wed 18
It fun stuff but I’m about pan fished out… time to go after something a bit bigger.
Gills Walleyes and Bass are doing everywhere, dispite the thunderstorms… Even heard of a pike or two being pulled in…
I my self havent been out in 4 weeks…
4 weeks? You feeling ok?
I was able to put the chores aside and spend the weekend fishing with Roosterfish .
We hit the westside where fishing was terable the the pine river was a thick brown mess , the Manistee was not as thick with maybe 6" of visibility . The banks had about 5 extra feet of water on them .
Sunday was better , we hit the lake down the road and had a "Pro Bluegill Tournament ".
Bill was content to fish the lilypads for the small ones that provided nonstop action , I fished the deeper water for the large slabs .
Later we played hide and seek with the pike , The pike won , never a hit on any lure we used .

My To Do List has grown enormous, and my neighbors list keeps popping up on mine
I have a neighbor down the road who has axidently found the spot where I have been feeding fish with Lake Fish Food. " I am trying to fatten them up for winter…
I havent had the urge to go since the pup passed. maybe in another week or two…
I’m sorry to hear about pup. I’ve been a dog owner most of my life and I completely understand.
I had one espically close dog named Bear. He was a Gerrman Shep Mix. Raised him from a pup. He went through a divroce with me, went on fishing trips, camping, loved tennis balls, plain hamburgers from Mickey D’s and most of all me. If I went somewhere you can bet he was with me (or in the truck waiting) He was absolutely one of the best. (The one I have now “Sage” is a close second)
I cried like a baby for nearly 2 days when I had to put him down. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.
Sucks loosing your very best friend in the world.
it was rough for me as well, she was a part of my every day life and went with me every where. I just noticed her nose prints on my windsheild a couple hours ago. Seems like there isnt a day that goes by without me seeing something that reminds me of her…
