Holy Crappie

Great bite at Spruce today. Most likely going to be sticking with the salt from here on out. Ended up with 18 crappies to 15" 2 pike to 25" and 3 LMB (small).

All on live shiners, video coming in a day or two (it's really good).

Most likely for the rest of the season. Little bit of a far drive for me. I love sweetwater too, but bass and fluke will be stone throw away.

Did you happen to get a video of a Russian wrestling with a Pike by the boat launch?

Spruce is tough. With the lack of obvious visible structure, its hard to know where to start unlike other lakes with stumps or timber. I guess most of the "hot spots" are underwater in the form of drop offs, weed edges and channel beds. Well done finding them.

Re: Holy Crappie
 
You are right. I moved to about three different areas. There are random branches etc sticking out in the back of the lake that hold a few. But paying careful attention to your fish finder is important. Hit a really good spot in four feet of water with some disturbances underwater that looked like snaggy. Also the rocky shorelines that drop off had them also.

You need to move, and I always pick off a big fish in general as a loner.

Thanks for the info. I found about 10 of the spots yesterday and beat the cap out of the crapies. They were thick in some spots. The only thing that slowed down the bite was my anchor coming untied. Lots of nice 2 lbers. Gotta get the go pro, cell phone selfies are tough in the wind.
