Any Crappie fishermen in here?

[CptTrips]

It's almost time!  (Well, ignoring last nights snow..)

Hmmmmmm fried fillet, red beans, and corn bread!  And perhaps the amusing house lager.

It's been crappy every time I've gone fishing. The kids toss too many rocks into the water to ever catch anything.

Lol.  Toss them in and tell them not to come back up for air without a fish in their mouth!

I've caught them by accident, but never gone out for them specifically. I usually go for bass and pike. Usually end up with crappie, perch and bullhead.

BTW, this is a crappie for you smart alecks. Its kind of like the ugly lovechild of a largemouth bass and a pumpkinseed sunfish.

Some say ugly.  I say delicious!

I catch and release Bass for sport.

For eatin, its Crappie! Far superior to Bass IMHO.

The only thing better tasting is perhaps bluegill.

Taste:  Walleye and perch .  I don't suppose they have much walleye in TX though.

Actually smallmouth bass is the best I've tasted. Caught on was about 16 inches, but it swallowed the hook, so we kept it since it was going to die anyway. Did it up on the grill, it was absolutely delicious.

I've known several people who swear northern pike is also great if you can cut it up without getting all the bones. Not an easy thing to do though.

Had enough perch and walleye over the years that I can't stand them anymore.

Crappie are fun to catch for the kids. You can catch alot of them in a short amount of time where we fish. Primarily we target Walleye but catch perch and crappie while doing so. We also never take more than what we eat that  night. We will throw them back before taking more than we eat.

I catch & release most unless a friend wants some fish. I  am a shrimp eater.... ahh lahk shrimp any way you cun fix et.

[CptTrips]

Never have tried walleye.  Strangly never had small mouth bass either.

Need to give those a try, Lake Grapevine nearby has them.

But Crappie,  yeah baby, in two weeks they'll be hitting those shallows.

I catch and release.  I have released 6 lb smallies in front of my neighbor(at our Wisconsin house) and he practically cried.  He wanted to eat/mount it.(no he did not want to have sex with the fish, you pervs)

I'm no PETA memeber, I just want to catch them agian later.

AHH...
You guys are killing me.
I just moved back to Michigan from 2 years in Florida.  All these pictures of fish and talk of fishing have me reserving air fare back to Fl. just so I can do some fishing...
Not to mention the fact it is 25 degrees with 6 inches of snow on the way tonight and it is 80 down there.
Good luck to all fisherman (and fisherwomen) this season.
Tight lines,
