 :rofl

I was trying to catch crappie when I caught these...

My wife and I were sitting there trying to catch enough crappie to eat...our luck was bad and we could only catch really small crappie, well she was reeling in one and BOOM this huge bass made a pass at her crappie, right next to bank...she screamed and asked if it was a bass...the only answer I could give her was hold on while I was tying on a Tiny Torpedo topwater plug that was the same color of all the white crappie we were catching...I took 2 casts for that big bass jump all over that plug and it was on  :rock

That smaller bass I caught on one of those little flimsy gold crappie hooks...after catching it the week before when I saw that big one try to eat that baby crappie, I knew I had to be proactive and catch it before my wife did   :devil

Always loved this quote:

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope.

I cant even begin to say how jealous I am.....

Ive never specifically targeted Crappie, more of just a bycatch of fishing for other fish. (dont get me wrong, if we would hit a few, we would switch to fishing for them) 

 What are some pointers for targeting them?  Structure, time of year, water temps, bait/lures?

 By the look of that table, your the "Bill Nye the Science Guy" of crappie fishing  :aok

This time of year is when they spawn . For about the next three weeks . You can just use a minnow and cork or I prefer a 1/8 oz jig . White and red is what they like in this lake the most in a foot of water . Then on up in the summer I well run Bandits lures 300 number ones . They run around 10 to 15 feet deep and that do the trick . These next few weeks I well feel my freezer FULL ..and during the summer it's more play time but right now it's like a job to me .Been trying to brake the world record for some time now and it come out of the lake I am fishing . I have been so close just 2 oz off from getting the title . I hope to get it this year . I know all the hot spot's . Been fishing this lake for 40 year's now .

Hooked up ready to roll . 4:30AM sure is early , lol . Thanks for the good luck . Maybe tomorrow well be the big day .
You know I was thinking earlier that I did not catch but one fish last week under 12 inches , see they got to be that long before you can keep them so there mite be a good chance of catching that 5 ponder  this year . I don't know if you make any money off it but be nice to have the title .
