Here’s another short report. I’ve been turkey hunting since Monday. My brother-in-law Chuck killed a 22 pounder, 11 ½” beard on Monday. I killed a 21 pounder 9 ½ beard this morning!

In between time we did get out on the water. We were using chartreuse and red jigs 1/16 once and fished 2 to 3 foot deep. We fished for 2 hours in the evening and caught 4 crappie from 14 ½” to 9 ½” and one bass at 16’ (Chuck out fished me again). The fish are still up even with the cold temperatures! We fished mainly around wood. The spawn has not occurred, yet!

Sorry about the short report but I am still reeling on the turkey. It’s a tough time of the year with all the hunting and the fishing! I will be fishing this weekend in my annual crappie fishing camp! Hoooo, hooo!

Fish On!
