The crappies were hungry on Tuesday.

From a west side of Indy body of water?

Catarac Lake . Glad to hear from fellow Hoosier

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice... I can almost taste the fish fry.

Very Nice!

Was the lake busy? Fortunately, I’ve been keeping busy with work...so doubt I’ll make it out anytime soon...but that’s okay. Still planning a trip up North the 2nd week of June.

You have to go on the weekdays. It is full of boats on weekends. I work 7 on and 7 off

Nice Tony. How deep and what was the water temp.
I'm stumped. I've been out on my local 400 acre crappie spot. It is loaded with 10 inchers. I've been skunked 3 times.... lake is flooded timber You can be fishing next to a tree in 30 fow. Couple days ago water was between 57 and 60 degrees. They should be heading shallow....I've fished this lake many times and do pretty good......
I NEED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL.....
I've tried minnows on slip bobbers and small plastics. Marking some fish ... last time out I did hook into a 36 inch musky on my 6 and half foot ultra lite. ,In 20 ft of water. Good time.
This lake is also a stay away on the weekend. Although couple days ago all 3 boat lots were full.... Hopefully I'll add some crappie pics to your post...... good job

Great job Tony!!! I’m extremely jealous!!!!

Cliff, the lake has been way up the last 4 years until the middle of June. Not this year, it’s actually below normal pool. I fished 30 fow 3 weeks ago and did well They were suspended at 15 feet. This week they were in 15 fow suspended at 8 to 10. I was rigged with 2 hook trolling set up with plain Aberdeen hooks with red and white jig body and minnows.” Hope this helps. I sure you will find them. Water temp 58 to 61 degrees My dad used to tell me them fish don’t read the same books we do.

Nice, I have always heard that lake was good for crappie. Haven't been to that lake in many many years since my grandparents and uncle sold their property. I do remember it gets very busy on the weekends.

NIce! Fished there once years ago. Caught some decent largemouth. Don't have a boat so I spend most of my time in White Lick Creek or Big Walnut for smallies. On a rare occasion I get out to Sugar Creek.

Tony, went out to my lake today.
....along with half the area population..bahahz.
Still skunked again on the crappie
Tried deep shallow suspendedpretty disappointed... dropped buddy off at the dock and went back out and caught 23 nice gills in 8 fow... just a split shot and hook with red worm hooked once... almost all swallowed deep..
I'll be back at the crappie next week

That's a good mess of fish. Can't beat gills or crappie.

We need to hook up and fish somewhere. Il. or In. My schedule is pretty open right now.

Another pretty good day.

I know I'm showing off but, I've never got to do that before. Best year I've ever had for crappie.

Tony, your not showing off. Just keeping people informed about what's out there. I would love to come down and fish.low gas prices and a new truck. I'm just itching for a road trip. Right now I'm dealing with having the doctor inject some gel in my knee.. one next Wednesday and one the following week. On top of that my oldest sister is bouncing back and forth from hospital to nursing home. So my mind is telling me to stay close to home.....Are you planning a trip up north this year?

Hopefully in the fall. Probably boat and motor and rent a cabin if I can one at Echo Shores Resort. They have a really good fishing package and Pat and Amy are really good people. Look them up.
