Crappie lakes

[rooster85]

Has anyone been out chasing crappie recently? My oldest is getting antsy and our pond really isn’t all that exciting anymore lol. Anybody hit up pymatuning recently? Any other lakes? I’d like to stay within 2 hours of home. Any ideas?

Any docks you can fish up in the lake? I’m not up on your end of the lake ever.

Mosquito?

Water temps are still cold holding them deep. Should be good in 7-10 days.

Haven’t been down there in a few years. Would be nice to get out and enjoy this quarantine vacation

Any tributaries around? Find some deadfalls, flip a Minnie and bobber around it. They're in spawn mode.

Most of the marinas should be getting good up there after this weekend. Indian lake is really good. Should be right at two hours for you

I just read about that lake. Is it worth bringing down a kayak?

Absolutely. There are miles of channels that the kayakers hit. Loaded with Crappies, Saugeyes, and big Gills

Indian Lake is not ready yet for killing the crappie population....water is not warm enough yet....give it a week or 2...maybe even three...you can catch a few, but not like what you can catch when the water warms....trust me!!!!

Today was a damn good day to be at Indian Lake. Saugeyes were hitting decent this morning and one BIG crappie this afternoon. 16 inches weighing 2lbs. Anyone know a good fish taxidermist? Doubt I’ll ever pull another like this out of Ohio waters. Might have to put it on the wall.

Pics of the big one...that did not get away?

If you zoom in, you can see the inch markers at mouth and end of tail.

SLAB!

The place in Hillsboro does a good job. Just off 50 to the east of town. Takes him a while, but it’s quality work.

Freaking awesome man!

Nice Cath, congrats! I spy a camper in that picture too

 

[NoDakRat]

Thanks. Camper belongs to a buddy. Hasn’t left that spot in 3 years. I think the next time it leaves that spot somebody else will own it. He’s thinking about getting rid of it. I’ve been thinking about picking one up but need to convince the boss. Won’t be a little one either. 4 grandkids need approximately 10 ft each. At least that’s my math!

 

[giles]

Lol, that’s good math!
