My son wanted to go shoot on Sunday, and I wanted to get some time in on the water, so I decided to head to the lake after work regardless of weather, my son and the dogs wanted to go along, so away we went. Did not hit a rain drop until we got to the lake at about 430pm, fired off the electronics and first thing I noted was all the new fish in town, so obviously the state planted Leland over this past week with trout. Took about 5 minutes to find some Crappie schooled up, by this time the rain is upon us, I wanted to try a couple of the new colors I brought in for my product, (Dons Dandy Crappie Jig), and we put some Crappie Gravy on the hook and fished the heck out of the schools. We could not get any serious bites, just sniffers and nibbles and then the wind started to blow so I positioned us over a good looking school and anchored. As we would swing through the school and get on the edge just as the Vexilar was losing contacts, BANG hogs on, real nice fish that were just outside the major group were hitting with conviction. In the next hour or so and through the miserable rain and wind we netted a dozen or so Slabs all of which were 13-14 inch and just beautiful as could be, but I have a strict 10" keeper slot limit that I adhere too and so not a fish came home with us for dinner. We fished till last light and put em to bed and headed home wet, cold, but wiser in the ways of the "Speckeled Perch" ie.. Crappie. Water temp is inching up each trip, it was 55.3 degrees, the new colors that worked the best was perch orange and chartruse and purple and white combos. Klahowya!
