This past sunday I had the opportunity to hit up the Day Co area of South Dakota. When it comes to this area the opportunities are so plentiful that one can chase big panfish, seet out walleyes or chase some flags. Anyway we started the morning chasing some of the elusive large crappies that this area is known for. On our second spot we ran into some aggressive schools of these fish, which were inhaling smaller jigging spoons tipped with maggots. This lake has some deeper basins but we were targeting aggressive fish in 16-17 fow. We caught close to 30 of these fish with many being from 11.5 up to right near 14 inches. We kept a few fish and switched up our tactics to target some of the bigger walleyes that this lake is known for. We were moving and drilling holes with aggresive blade style baits. When I heard Nick yell get over here I knew he had a nice one. I helped him land the fish and she was a beauty in that upper 20 inch region. After a quick picture we put her back to make some little ones. With class the next day we had to get back and get on some homework. Hope you can all get out and chase some fish before the ice melts – Quintin
