2016 Crappie

I have to apologize as this years fishing has been off due to work and school.  I have though taken a few trips that I haven't posted on and during some of these trips I have caught some nice Crappie (no monsters but some decent fish) .  So here are a few Crappie pics from this years outings.

Also, as the year goes by I will add photos to this post.

Caught these in April on a Monks Head and a Acid Rain Grub

This is one was caught in April  on a Purple Rain Grub.  I caught 10~ on the Purple  Rain grub in about 15 cast then nothing!   It was a fast and furious first 15 cast.   I caught these in a local lake in a spot where I have been putting in a stake bed for 3 years when  the water is low and this was the first time I have fished it.  If the water gets low this year I will add more stakes to it and I know where I will be next  March/April !!!

Caught this one in May on a Powerbait tube under a cork

                                         

                       Here is one my son caught in May, pretty sure his Crappie is way  bigger than what I have caught this year!!!

One I caught yesterday trolling a "Fish Doc" Rig.    The Fish Doc Rig is a deep crank on the bottom of a 3 way swivel and a 1/4 oz Roostertail on the top. The top leader is twice as long as the bottom.   I caught too many to count White Perch, 1 white Bass, 1 yellow perch, and 4 channel cats (all cats on the Roostertail)  on this rig yesterday.  I have used this rig twice, once last year and now this year.

 The fish have killed this rig though I haven't got any really big fish on it yet though both times I have fished it have been less than ideal times in the middle of a Hot Summer day.    I am going to fish with this rig more and report back.

                                   

Here is a pic of the Acid and Purple Rain grubs.........................

                                 

 All of these fish were caught in Central North Carolina...........
