Sleepless and Crappie.
« on: Feb 03, 2010, 06:20 PM »
 My day started Tuesday @ noon then my oldest son and his wife had a baby boy their first 8lbs.12oz. 21" long. I then had to work all night.At 7am I met HuntFishSled at his house to load up for a day of fishing. We had a very busy day with 20 Crappies,At least 50 smallmouth Bass anfd one pike. I only got pictures of the Crappies.




Let the little one\\\\\\\'s grow

Looks like you have a honey hole. Good length to those crappie. And congrats on the new grandchildren. They wear you out quicker at this age for some reason.  :tipup:

Wow, that's a nice tasty pile right there, I wouldn't mind spending a day fishing with you wherever you picked those up. My in-laws are in Chelsea/Whitefield, not too far away ;) . Gratz on the little one!

Yup.....I'd have to say that was the most action I've seen in a long time. It took me 3 hours just to get my traps set.  All those bass were 3-4 pounders. They put a nice bend in the 'ol jig pole. 

Almost lost one unattented jig pole when a 4 lber. decided to hit a stationary jig.  :o

70 or so fish and not one yellow perch.

 Thanks guys for all the well wish's about the baby. I visited with him to day after fishing and he and his mother are doing fine.I haven't found the White Perch yet maybe Friday we'll have better luck.
  The bass were all over from 20' to 60', you couldn't get away from them.
