3/15 JPP Crappie (Late Post)
Sorry for the late report. But Saturday afternoon, I saw online that Merv was catching crappie, Jimmy was getting on them, and several were reporting on here a good day. So I went to one of my crappie wading spots on JPP. I arrived around 4:30 pm. First cast was a yellow, second was a white and this went on for about a half hour. Caught a yellow or white every cast. Then the crappie started in, and boy was it fun! My buddy and I caught well over 30 crappie and all were between 12-13" except for a few that were between 10-11. We kept the first 11 we caught and released the rest. The stringer of 11 weighed 13 lbs. Very healthy thick fish. It was a blast! I was using the Purple Haze Trout Magnet with no float and no weight on 2lb test. My buddy was using a blue/white 1/8 oz crappie jig. I caught more crappie, but he caught more white bass. It was constant action until dark. All fish were caught in 3-6 feet of water. Cant wait to return.
