”HOF GONE WILD”

Lake Zumbro was the place to be as Crappie Mike [HOF] went wild and put on a show on how to catch crappies today. Read on to see how this ”panfish geru” caught crappies and bluegills like there was no end.

After trying a couple new spots and only caught a few we motored over to one of our favorite spots. The bullgills were there to greet us and make us feel right at home. After several hours of catching them I was getting anxious to catch some crappies and sure enough after saying that the crappies finally showed up. Between the gills and the crappies we were kept pretty busy. [Mike was busy catching fish after fish while I kept busy catching some too [not nearly what he caught] and taking pics of Mike and his catch. LOL!

If you have read any of our reports before its no secret as to what lure we were using. Those Mini-Mites just can’t be beat. While Mike was busy catching fish I tried several other lures to see if I could catch fish at the rate he was but nothing I tried worked like those Mini-Mites did. Not even close. Mike even tried to experiment alittle too but with the greatly reduced catch rate it wasn’t long before he switched back. We fish the baits/lures under a float [bobber] and hook a waxie to the lure and cast it out to the area we want it to be at and let it wiggle its tail to torment the fish to the point of biting. These lures sure know how to wiggle. lol.

Today was a beautiful day to be on the water. It was a sunny day for most part and around 60 degrees air temp in the afternoon to match the afternoon water temp of 60 also. Fall fishing is just starting and the next couple of months will be a great time to be on the water. Hope to see you on the water and stay tuned for the next outtings report on ”HOF GONE WILD.”

Thanks, Bill

ps. hey Mike….do you think just ”maybe” next time I could get you to hold the camera at least one time? lol.

This guy loves to catch bullgills to.

Those Mini-Mites sure know how to catch fish…opps I mean HOF sure knows how to catch fish.

Bill…they weren’t PURPLE Mini Mights were they??

Nope not purple Bud. He used several different colors but I do remember chartruse with an orange jig and then a glow head too. Mike can tell you for sure what he used. I experimented with different baits and none even came close to those Mini-mites. I’m trying to find another hot plastic as a back up but none come close yet. The flicktails that Ron really likes that Mike sells are really good as I watched Ron hammer the big gills on those one day last year when he went out with us. I’ll keep experimenting though at times just for the fun of it and for the educational part of it. But when I want to get serious and hammer the fish you know which plastic/jig goes on my line.
Thanks, Bill
