left the dock at 6:15 Saturday morning with my son in search of the crappies.
1st spot we hit is loaded with 5-7 " fish.it was a fish a cast for 45 minutes but nothing big.we head out to anther spot .fish there for about 30 minutes with 2 nice 12 inchers but no other bites.we head to our 3rd spot and game on
with all nice big crappie and yellow perch.that bite lasted for an hour which was long enough for us to get out limit of crappies.it was about 10am and we
were headed in when we decided to hit one more spot.we put the anchors down and start casting.it took a few minutes but the fish turned on and we started catching shiners,sunnies,crappies and perch one after another.we stayed for about 45 minutes and left them biting.
sunday we left the dock at 6:30.we had agreed to try a few spots we have not hit lately to see what was around.we get to the 1st spot and its still a little dark.we finish our coffees and start casting.it takes a little while but the crappies start eating.we were catching them one after another with some jumbos mixed it.we also caught a few pickerel and lm bass on the jigs too.you could see them schooled up and moving around,there were fish everywhere you looked.sunday was all catchand release.

I fished again yesterday afternoon and caught about 40+ crappie with my buddy with some real jumbos 13-14" mixed in. We also got 1 yellow perch, 1 small LMB and 4 pickerel. There was a lot boats in the small cove we were in too... When we got back to the state ramp just as it was getting dark we saw a pile of dead crappie somebody dumped at the dock! There was probably 15-20 fish there on the bottom at the end of the dock and they weren't fileted out or anything that we could see. No clue ytf anybody would do that...

There was nobody around or cars in the parking lot when we got there either.

that's ridiculous. I would love to be able to fish in a lake where I could eat the crappie & perch from & then ya got jagoffs doing that!

joe you are welcome to join us whenever its good for you.its a shame that peeps have to do that.i'll bet someone had over there limit and the man was there so they just dumped the fish.the fishing at the like has been just great so if you are looking to get out now is the time.

Man people just make me sick.

I got home after a great day of fishing to an email from my father in law holding a 40" musky in his basement! WTF fish of a lifetime and you want to eat it? I guess once a member of the bucket brigade always a member.

I think I was in the same cove, I was in the black and tan tracker. A ton of boats with a ton of action.

Fish dumped. And crappies as well.

Just for the note the man was out there both Saturday and Sunday so your assumption is pretty much right on the money.

How much fish do you really need. I hope they got nailed

I was in the old green 16' aluminum. My boat is the Dirty Hooker, it's a '83 Mirrocraft Lake Fisherman II I fully restored last year. It had the white Johnson 9.9 and a trolling motor on the back end. We took fish but we eat them, no reason to just waste them and dump them at the dock dead to stick in everybody's face...
