is it safe yet

dirk327 · « **Reply #1 on:** Dec 05, 2007, 06:10 PM »

not as of two days ago...not sure now. I haven't been up there yet. The wind was blowing hard down through there then with this snow I would give it a few more days.

Is that down by the dam?

I went down leasure ln. to the beach on Sunday..There was only 1" of ice there..I didn't walk around to the point to check the back side...But with the snow that we have now I'm sure it turned to slush...Should freeze up by this weekend...I charged the flasher just for this occasion.

No....Crappieville is on a back cove..Just up the lake from the dam.

I responded to that....acurate report but not what you think. The sled was crossing a beaver flowadge in the tall grass. Current and the grass led to the thin ice. Water only a foot deep or so so no one hurt but still a good idea to stay off the ice for a day or two

I think a lot of people would like to try Crappie fishing. If you know a lake why not list it!

chillywillie · « **Reply #11 on:** Dec 06, 2007, 11:16 AM »

I did.

ok thanx id like to try catching some crappies

cdc · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 06, 2007, 03:38 PM »

I'll dig around to see if I can find a list of lakes and ponds that hold them...
It can be real fun catching slabs..get your self a ultra light jig rod and some small jigs..
A flasher is a great tool to help locate them.

4 unconfirmed reports (denoted by an *) reflect one or both of the following conditions: public reports of large esocids unlikely to be chain pickerel, or public reports of captured pike from waters located within the accessible drainage of known populations of northern pike.

Northern pike occur, to some extent, in the following 4 “major” river drainages: Androscoggin River, Kennebec River, Mousam River, Penobscot River.

Nice work guys, thanks! I have 2 questions though..
1) Which Range pond has slabs? I've fished Middle and Upper several times and never came up with one.
2) Has anybody targeted Crappie in Sebago Lake? If so, any pointers? That's pretty close to me (in Gray) and I'd be interested in giving it a try if it's worth it.

thanks,
J-

I just got 47 more crappie hooks in the mail today. I heard that 2# test is what you want to use for pan fish, is that right? Looking at the size of the hooks I don't think you could use anything bigger. I'm getting ready for some night fishing. I'm gluing down some carpet in my Clam right now.

MikeMunn · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 07, 2007, 06:47 PM »

I've used up to 6lbs test for Crappie before. They didn't seem to mind. Gives you a little flexibility too in case something bigger comes along. I'll probably have 6lbs on one rod and 4lb on another.

I think you will have problems with two lb. test pegasus. Some of those slabs go up to 3 lbs. and then add ice and cold fingers. Quite a few of the guys use power pro like 8 lb. test with a 2 lb diamenter.

pegasus · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 07, 2007, 08:36 PM »

Thanks, I'll try that. I don't know how well these new lures will work. They are neon and glow in the dark, but they caught me.

billditrite · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 07, 2007, 08:37 PM »

i use 4 lb on all my crappie rods...tried the power pro ice last year...8lb test 2 lb diameter...jury is still out on that one $:-\$ strong but im not so sure its as stealth as id like

I fished off my folks slip in sebago and caught crappie before, they don't have the slip anymore though and it's gated access - haven't caught them anywhere else in sebago but haven't specifically been targeting them there either.
