First time on Long lake. I heard and read it holds some nice crappie. And it only took a couple of hours to locate them. They are in pre-spawn. I was VERY impressed with the quality! My fiance' and I both caught 15" crappie. I have been crappie fishing for about 25yrs in AZ. And where I come from that is a VERY respectable fish. They were mostly caught in 5-8ft of water with a couple coming within a foot or so of the surface to eat it. I would consider the water clear because we could see our jigs in 5+ ft of water. We caught a total of 13. And only one was under 13". And one nice 2+ pound smallie and two perch. I do not keep any bass. So that one went back. I'm sure we would have done better but it was our good deed day. We helped a stranded ski boat by towing them about 2 miles back to Nine Mile. And we were about out of gas so we decided to call it a day. The water temp was between 64 and 68 degrees. BTW..... I'm hearing that people don't eat the fish from Long Lake? Any feedback would be great! Crappies Forever!!!
