RE:CRAPPIE
That is so cool! They are beautiful little fish. I've always wanted to catch some, but when I try I never have any luck. I have only ever caught them inadvertently when bass fishing.

RE:CRAPPIE
Nice fish, that one crappie looks humongous compared to the others.
RE:CRAPPIE
Nice fish.
Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook
He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

RE:CRAPPIE
I take it there's no size limit for Crappie at Myron? I've never cleaned any smaller than 8 or 9 inches, do you filet them or cook'm whole? I always filet; but on size like some there, can't imagine that's too productive. Nice mess of fish with some decent bluegills too.

RE:CRAPPIE
the small ones were just big enough and so many of them that i had to take some home. I filet all my fish except trout (unless they are over 16"). yea![sad] when they are that small they are like potatoe chips[lol]
RE:CRAPPIE
do you run a bobber with that jig setup? I've never targeted crappie intentionally with a lure before.
RE:CRAPPIE
I'm not using a bobber. I use a 9ft to 16ft poles/rods which lets you dabble your offerings or cast farther when using tiny offerings. Crappie like to be around cover and will be in the shady areas at high noon. smaller lakes are easier to fish for them as they are more condensed as to being in bigger lakes. Spring and early summer is a great time to fish for them if you are a shore fisher. I'll use a bobber if they are being real finicky. use the smallest bobber you can as most of the time crappie will inhale and spit out your offering with out making the bobber move.
RE:CRAPPIE
I have found lakes where I really cant' keep the panfish off the hook, but they are all very small. What size for a bluegill/sunfish to you start to deem them as keepers?
RE:CRAPPIE
That's really up to you, it's how many fish you've caught and how many you want to clean. Personally I like keeping bluegills as big as my hand, crappies 9" minimum and perch 9" minimum. I'll raise the size limit if I've caught a bunch and don't want to be cleaning until midnight.Dustin07 wrote:I have found lakes where I really cant' keep the panfish off the hook, but they are all very small.

RE:CRAPPIE
Same as Kzoo says about the perch and crappie. My dad doesn't like keeping bluegill over here in Washington since most of the ones you'll catch aren't that big. If they were as big as one of the bluegills I caught over at Potholes back in the day he'd probably keep them all day, it was bigger than my hand and I'm 6'5 so my hands are pretty big.
RE:CRAPPIE
Good lookin' pics! Thanks.
RE:CRAPPIE
I'll keep 7-8". Down to 6" if thats the biggest being caught. 
But! I've eat'n plate fulls of potatoe chip sized fillets that took hours to prep.:chef: Because that was all that could be caught.

There are a lot of ops this time of year to catch crappie and other panfish all over the state. But you need to have them in your thoughts so that you just have to go out and catch some!!!
Re: CRAPPIE
The more pictures I see, the more I want to head over there.
