Pastor Bill 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2006 She was a lot of fun to catch. I caught 6 yesterday and one was 14 1/2 inches long. The one in the picture is 12 1/2. My phone died before I caught the bigger one. But that's okay, I know where they live now so I'll be back. Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeff, I caught these in a pond in my neighborhood in Mechanicsville VA just off of Meadowbridge Rd. Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise I will call my buddy who lives out there and see about fishing this pond that is near his new place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2006 Nice crappie Bill :headbang: I use to get into some big ones on the Au Sable that were in that range 12-14" and they were a blast to catch (and eat ) but it's been some years since I have targeted them, might have to hit them again this summer. Nice pic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GHow 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2006 Way to go Bill. I hit one on April 6th on a white deceiver with a blue back. Water was still cold but they are staging. I think they will flock in again for the new moon spawn at the end of the month. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted April 12, 2006 mmmmmmmm...crappie and mayo sandwich.... No doubt! I brought about 60 back (left another couple dozen with my folks to chow on) from Florida at Xmas. What a treat. Ours are about to stage. Tough call between gills and crappies. (they both better watch out...LOL) Nice fish, Bill :headbang: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
