Good crappie day

[Brittany Chukarman]

We got into the crappie pretty good today. Real good sized fish this year going up to 14".

Sneaky deer hiding under the "floating" dock porch. Wonderful pile of crappie.

There is nothing better than perch and crappie. My biggest crappie so far this year was a 14 3/4 incher. Tis the season.

Great pics.

Nice day on the water...plenty of colour to that perch, we get stuck into them over here, not too bad on the plate.

Very nice! I'm hoping the bluegill bite really turns on here in the next few weeks as I'd like some of them or crappie like that for a fish fry.

BTW, is that a "fishing" pontoon? If so how do you like it? Wife and I are considering one.

Nice mess there. We caught a good mess of crappie last Tuesday night at the lake I live on. We caught a bunch that looked like they swallowed golf balls. . .full of eggs, we threw them back. I think we kept 26 total, but, they didn't look as good as your cooler did!!

1pointer, Have you ever fished Lake Waveland over here by me? Usually really good bluegill fishing.

It is a pontoon. I didn't think I would like fishing from one but I really like it and my clients like it even more. 2003 Parti Craft fishing model with a 60 HP 4stroke Suzuki. Shade canopy, chaise lounge, 4 swivel fishing chairs and a pop-up porta-potti room for the ladies. I've added on a tackle cabinet, mounted a trolling motor and installed more rod racks. Also when you're anchored up on a spot in the summer the panfish gather under the boat for the shade. After fishing with me some of my clients have bought their own.

Thanks for the info! The lake near my cabin has a marina that rents fishing pontoons of various age. May have to give them a whirl to see how well we like them. My kiddos are 3 and 6 so going fast and/or pulling skiers is not needed. I think one would be perfect for our situation. Plenty of room to fish from morning/dusk and to swim from midday. Now to convince the wife to buy one of them instead of a new luxury car or suv...

Consider me jealous. Hopefully I can do something similar in the next couple weeks
