I hit deer Creek yesterday morning. As usual, I was at the gate early and had to wait for the darn thing to open. I was in search of some more walleye because the trip before produced some. I searched for those sneaky creatures from 6 to about 9 with no luck. Not even a bite. I decided to head to the north side and throw for some little small mouths to get rid of the skunkyness. Needless to say, I was into bass right away and caught a fair share. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw my first crappie on the line when I was expecting bass. I caught about a dozen of the crappie and kept 3 for my dinner. They were all nice size beautiful fish. This was my first time catching these and it was fun. I was casting toward shore with a shad colored swim bait and bouncing the bottom back toward the boat. I tried multiple baits and this was the best. You can guarantee I’ll try to find them again.
Those are some decent sized Crappie for sure! What size swim bait ( if you don’t mind me asking ). I picked up some 3.5 and I think a size smaller as well, but the swim head I have for them seems a bit big. No luck with that setup at Hyrum a month ago, but willing to try again.
Nice Crappie for sure! You didn’t keep any smallies for thebpan?
I was there on the 8th hunting for the wiley walleye. We caught one 13-14 inch walleye. We then caught some perch, a SM and a 12 inch crappie. I then caught a couple really nice bows before the bite was done. I made a video.
