Crappies in the afternoon

[twintrades]

My wife and i went out for a couple of hrs. Caught about 2 dozn, only 1 dozn were keepers.

Its so fun to go out with her. We used tip downs, They were hitting so hard at times we couldent keep up!!
shed runn around hooking and bringin them up Ide follow and rebait.

Funny thing is i brought the lil shanty with and about 2 hrs into fishin she had to pee. So i ran back to the truck. ( on shore ) Meanwhile shes hookin them left and right. I come back and see most of the poles on the ground with fish on them. As im setting up the shanty shes hollerin for me to hurry up and catch some fish. She goes in the shanty to (You know) and the action slows WAY down ......... its like they knew she had to pee. Anywho we had a blast!!  Were goin out in the mornin hope they hitt as well then too.

Well seee ya later

I recently had a good crappie bite with my fiancee, it is always great to take your significant other out, who may not regularly fish, and get on a decent bite.  It shows them WHY you do what you do at five in the morning each weekend, and HOW it can be so addictive.  I'd rather fish with her than most others.

yes crappie are great fish especially when you get on a good school we had some great action on lake Wisconsin this year at first ice fast and ferrous with big slabs but usually when they shut of like that you can move around eather deeper or shallower to refind them especially in the morning and night

Darn it shure sucks when you get your limit of crappies
We went out this morning caught 1 1/2 dozn Then she had to go to work. I went back out and caught my limit ....... 8)

Had a Warden stop by me and check what i had for reserch.  This is after i caught my share and could have no more. As i was packing up the last tip down went down. I ran over outa instinct pulled up a huge slab. I thought great ill just switch this one for a smaller one. Then i realized i pulled the gills outa every one i kept. The warden said just slide it down the hole ....    

He ws a nice guy though. Gave me a free ride back to shore with all of my gear. I guess not all of them are bad.

Later
