Hit up the chain lakes this morning. Went to a few of our hot spots looking for some smb. Started on top water, and right off the bat we were getting hits. Then bam, slammed a giant crappie. Decided to switch up our approach and went to drop shotting. The action was one right after the other on giant crappies. Also managed to land some smb, and 1 decent lmb. Between my son, my friend and myself we boated over 50 fish. We kept a nice bag of crappies for the table and released the rest. Smallest crappie were 12 inches and caught plenty in the 14 to 15 inch range. On the water about 6 and off the water by noon. Awesome day

FishinCoiugar, sounds like you had a great day with the crappies. Thanks for the report. Any chance you would be willing to tell us which of the chain lakes you were on and what type of depth you were fishing? Even your smallest 12"er is a nice slab. 14 to 15 is great. Thanks and happy fishing

Sounds like you had a great last couple days of fishing, Good work, now those are some good sized crappie, I've only caught one that big since I moved from WI.

Was fishing Black in about 16-18 foot of water over some suspended weed beds. I tried to post the photos but for some reason they are not showing up. Had some photos of the big crappies.

Thanks for the location. I'll be on the chains tomorrow. Black has never been one of my favorites but I may give it a try. Happy Fishing

Sorry but the photos posted here actually go with my August 2nd report for Hayden, I mixed them up when I sent them in to be posted. Look at My Hayden report to see photos of my crappies.
