Well hit front yard for a few hours this morning...God I love that place...

MAKE SURE YOU CLICK THE PICTURE..

How big are they JT? It is hard to tell how big the crappies are not knowing how big you are. They look to be 12"+ fish...did you measure them? BTW...you are killing us northern boys as most of our water is still open, or not safe due to the wind and snow, which we are forcast to get more of starting Saturday - Tuesday.

It was a tuff bite today,took alot of work to even find a fish.You find it you better hook it,or sit for 20 mins.Alot of fish chase it up,even get some a ft from ice and take off.went thru several baits fnally tied on a big marmooska and still had to keep it down,Craps came off the bottom and nailed it.Was a real good time and weather was perfect.Really hopin the temps combined with the rain dont hurt us...

Nope,ponds are 25+ years old and nobody does anything but fish.

I heard Al Linder and Stange both are on there way for some schoolin on those specks! Nice fish guys!!

Kinger53 · « **Reply #45 on:** Dec 11, 2010, 01:35 PM »

How big of a pond is this? I've always heard ponds 'should be' a minimum of 2 acres to support a healthy Crappie fishery.

Hoosier · « **Reply #46 on:** Dec 11, 2010, 02:12 PM »

small one is about 2 maybe little more..JT

Hoosier · « **Reply #47 on:** Dec 11, 2010, 02:38 PM »

Took Dale to the Yard today,man the winc cut ya and then that rain.Geez it was messy.Only stayed a few hours,bite was tuff.You could 1 in every so often but gettinem to hit was another story.

Can definatly say the ice is takin a hit in this weather,hope it pulls threw till those single digits and low teens hit next week.
I also was told it was the thinnest 3 inchs of ice he had ever seen... lmao... JT

abishop · « **Reply #48 on:** Dec 11, 2010, 04:07 PM »

Those were some excellent papermouths. What did they go 12-13 inches?

Hoosier · « **Reply #49 on:** Dec 11, 2010, 05:16 PM »

several were over 14,biggest was 16..Didnt measure one in that last pic..Been on a Crappie hunt for couple years now and I think i have almost fixed that,,lol, ... JT

icemantwo · « **Reply #50 on:** Dec 12, 2010, 03:18 PM »

I feel your pain SkeeterJeff and Flattop. I can't get out yet this year and with this storm I probably won't until at least Wednesday.

Hoosier · « **Reply #51 on:** Dec 12, 2010, 05:51 PM »

Hit the Yard today,bite was slow.You had to callem in and talk all sweet to them to bite.. Brawler did a pretty good job of it..

Ice was sucky at the edge and took a little hit in middle,spudded a few times and decided we could get it done with a plank,,after all the snow hit,we could really tell how bad edge was,it was all wet about 2 foot out.Next couple days should lock it back tight and gain..

SkeeterJeff · « **Reply #52 on:** Dec 12, 2010, 09:40 PM »

Awesome pics and report JT. Looking forward to experiencing it personally sometime. :-)

Gill Gitter · « **Reply #53 on:** Dec 12, 2010, 09:43 PM »

looks like brawler had a little stink on his fingers the fish liked

sounds like a good time to me.

Ericjeeper · « **Reply #54 on:** Dec 15, 2010, 05:58 PM »

JT to me to his "secret" spot today, Bite was slow but the fish were jumbos

Hoosier · « **Reply #55 on:** Dec 24, 2010, 10:28 PM »

Hit the Yard again today,just a few hours and got some pics of a few good ones..

Paul let me down today(lol),so I went to some flies I had.Tommorow Im gonna try some of wax worms creations.... JT

h2.0shaver · « **Reply #56 on:** Dec 24, 2010, 10:34 PM »

Those are quality, well done

Jigmup · « **Reply #57 on:** Dec 24, 2010, 11:17 PM »

What kind of fertilizer have you been using on the yard? Nice specs.

SkeeterJeff · « **Reply #58 on:** Dec 25, 2010, 02:09 PM »

First of all, thanks to Hoosier for putting me on the Front Yard this morning for a few hours. JT schooled me pretty good. The first one came about 15 minutes after we arrived and the second one was no more than 15 minutes later.

I picked up this decent 9" gill a few minutes later.

Picked up another 8" one. Ready to meet up with the filet knife.

Thanks again JT, I really enjoyed it. Those are a couple of slab crappie!!

-Jeff
