Spring Pond 05/02
Message:
I went fishing for black crappie with asianfisher (aka Billy) at Spring Pond from noon to 6:00 pm. It was overcast with a steady five to 10 mile per hour south breeze, but the air was warm, so no jackets were required. For the most part, we used 1/16 to 1/8 ounce jigheads with chartreuse grub tails, although Billy experimented with other colors a bit. We suspended the jigs eight to 24 inches under stick bobbers. We killed them. Most of the crappie were caught within five feet of the shore off of both islands and the middle of the west shore. I finally found out why they're called [b:f2698be0f8]black[/b:f2698be0f8] crappie. I've always wondered, because the crappie that I had caught in the past were mostly green. Today, a lot of the crappie that we pulled up were mostly black and a dark teal blue. Billy got distracted by some bedding largemouth bass in the shallows of the northwest corner and caught two of them by swimming a bronze hard stickbait (e.g., floating Rapala) over the beds. The bigger of the two was two pounds, 12 ounces. I also got a small keeper bass on the jig. We ended up keeping 27 crappie. we could have had more if we hadn't spent a lot of time just venturing around the entire pond. Most of the crappie were 12 inches long, although Billy got one 14 inch lunker. I filleted eight of them after I got home for dinner tonight. I'm getting hungry already. :D [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ir4xSkglEGU[/youtube] [img:f2698be0f8]http://img857.imageshack.us/img857/9359/20110502springpond001.jpg[/img:f2698be0f8] [img:f2698be0f8]http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/5667/20110502springpond003.jpg[/img:f2698be0f8]
