Jpp 3/20

[MNfisher]

My realtor appt got canceled, so I headed to the lake after work. arrived at 3:45. Fished the hole where they were saturday...nada. Fished several other spots...nada. No bait activity or surface activity. A bass boat came by, water temp was 53.7....i was thinking they should be starting to come in. I try a spot that transitions from mud to rock, it has done well for me in the past. I finally get my first bite at 6:30, caught a fair amount from 6:30 to 7:00. I realize while I am catching that there is bait activity on the surface. I think the water just needed to warm a bit more to bring the fish in. I am really impressed with the size of the crappie I am catching this year. These were all cookie cutter 13" fish. Very thick, very fat. They hit a purple redemption trout mag. I will be back tomorrow and plan on doing well Took a few pics to share. Looking forward to tomorrow!

Nice fish sir, I fished from 5-7 and caught 3 decent size crappie. I was getting bites but no takers. I would find fish, catch one and then they would shut off. I did notice some big fish coming to the surface and breaking water, I am thinking Hybrid because we caught 3 last week in that locations.

Beautiful fish Mike. That color is a killer on JPP for crappie.....and the Smallies love it too.

I saw tons jumping and surfacing.

I guess they could have been carp but I was over 25-30' of water. Every now and again I would see one pass under the sonar but have no idea what they were. I have only caught one female with eggs even somewhat close to being dropped over the last few weeks, you guys seeing anything different?

[MNfisher]

They are bulging, but not sure if they are ready to drop. I didn't clean any.
