Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 3,142 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Spoke with my Cousin yesterday. He lives in SE Missouri. He has it too. We got to talking Crappie. The fish, not the social issue. He was telling me about his jigs and what catches fish and what don't. I told him that he has Missouri crappie, and Washington Crappie are not smart enough to bite.

Big Sarge 0 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Dynamite works pretty good..... True story - When I was park ranger for the Corps of Engineers, we had a wire basket we would lower into the spillway gate and catch fish for our cook outs. We got lots of fish and in lots of trouble when the bosses figured out how we were catching all those fish!! Link to post Share on other sites
Longhandle Slim 0 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I have the same urge... After Land Run and TX state, I'm headed to the Gulf to chase king fish in the kayak, and maybe some specs and reds... By the way, threads like this don't help!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 3,142 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Got sunlight? Could warm the shallows later in the day and move them closer to it. They are still going to be deeper, but not as deep as cold fronts produce. I would think I would look for a flat area that is between 20 and 10 feet deep near a shallow area in bright sun. Of course structure is gonna help. But then, what does Badger know about crappie? There is an area in Lake Washington near the north end that has a lot of milfoil in an area that runs about 15 feet deep. Figure this would be a great spot for panfish come summer. Perch seem to love the place. There is a spot over on Lake Sammamish that harbors smallies but I have not been able to find it again. Would love to get over to the east side this summer, but I donno if the ole body is up to it. Link to post Share on other sites
Bugs Bonney SASS # 10171 0 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Caught a nice three pound bass this morning in my pond. Put him back in because the pond is only two years old and the DNR says not to take fish out of it for five years to let the population stabilize. So, I don't get to eat them but I do get the fun of catching them. Link to post Share on other sites
