I hit up a pond yesterday and was able to scratch up 2 14" crappie. I thought it was about to turn on for an evening bite since I caught those two one right after the other but that's all that I was able to scrounge up. I was seeing if I could get a couple more since we're having a trip to Potholes for walleye in a couple weeks and thought I could get enough for a fry for our group. Probably a month away still for good fishing.

Been hammerin' them! Caught thirteen all 11"-13" on Presidents Day. That was the first batch of the year for me. I tried to post pics from my I phone, but it wouldn't accept them. I will transfer them to my laptop and then try again. Have been catching them consistently since.

Nice I really wasn't expecting much with it being cool still, guess I should've been going out there since last month. That was my first outing for the year, I might try again next weekend. I might have to get a new ultra light rod here, I didn't notice that my rod had snapped until after about 2 hours of fishing, I can't remember if that happened last year or while it was sitting in my car.

- Winter crappie/bluegill
Finally was able to figure out the pictures. These were caught the last week of Feb.

Nice fish, one of the i82 ponds? Saw a guy fishing it today when I was leaving earlier that looked like he might've been going for crappie but didn't ask how he was doing, I was only able to get one bass there. Then I headed to Yakima and got a larger bass there, couldn't cast into the dang wind there to my spot for crappie.

Yeah, pond 4 is pretty good right now right before dark. I was out there for a little, but the cold wind drove me off!
