Hi all
Fished the 1st fill with my boss and his 3 kids this afternoon, got more crappie this time. Fished about 30ft off shore(casting from bank) bobber set about 6ft above teardrop with waxworm, and found some suspended fish, got 7 crappie all were over 7inches, lots of tiny bluegills, and a few little perch and more chubs.
Went to 2nd fill after 2 hours on 1st fill, lots and lots of bluegill and sunfish, like i say those guys who b*tch about no panfish are so full of it, they must just suck at fishing…cause they were on the line every cast..!!
I had 3 kids down from me ages, 10-14 if i had to guess throwing rapalas, they caught about 9 pike, and 1 muskie all in same area, the water flow by 2nd fill, the caldron there, it must be a deeper pool there, they caught a 10" pike and i went over to see what it is, so they let it go, and the muskie had to be about 23" or so, i yelled over to them to throw it in and there complied and tossed it back, literally..nice.. But the kids moved down by me tossing more rapalas and got the rest of the pike, i cant believe we didnt catch any reeling in tiny gills' cause the were thick in there. The kids took 5 home…all over 30"  I wasn't sure not having a rule book on me, but lol …is pike closed right now???..lol I told the kids i wasn't sure if they could keep pike, but they should release all muskie, reguardless of size. Of course they are kids and just smiled and noded..
nice day to be out at least.
