Gator, Chick, Crappie, 3/7/21, Randy

[Gator]

My friend Randy wanted some fresh crappie for supper. We put in about 7:40 and fished until around 12:30, fished hard for his supper, caught lots and lots of short fish. Probably 40+ short fish and only 2 keepers. Needless to say all were released. Fish were caught in 10-20 fow on BGs in chartreuse and shad colors. It beats me as to where the larger fish are right now but I figure they are staging. Water temp 58 this am and 62 when we quit. Weather was great, lots of folks out today. Guess he’ll eat burgers!

I put in at Grasshopper Creek early this morning. I kept eleven to eat. None over 12 inches. Caught lots of small ones. Really slow..like you said no slobs. Most caught on minnows and BG Baby Shad black & chart. All shallow. Thanks for the report.

Thanks for the reports - I will add - I crappie fished this past weekend - Friday and Saturday. Friday was cold and windy and Saturday was just cold in the morning but a very nice day. The fishing Friday was bad - not much else to say. Saturday got a late start but caught 40 or so crappie with 9 keepers - 1 over 12" and 1 over 13". The fish were scattered and I caught several males with their tuxedos on that were guarding beds, but never got on a good pattern. Caught the most numbers off docks 15-20' and the better fish in spawning areas.

I just I showed the date wrong because we finished on April 7 instead of March 7.
