Was out a few days ago with a couple friends to do some fishing and do some looking around the canal system. And remember, when I say ‘canal’, that really means we could be about anywhere, and this time, that definitely applied. The crappie fishing was kinda slow, but we did manage to get about 55-60 fish in the boat, but the problem was, many of them were pretty small. I did get a few nice ones in the boat though, including a nice 11 1/2″ thick one.
Water temp was all the way down to 44-45 degrees, which is a bit lower than it usually is this time of year. We moved around quite a bit and did a lot of looking, and also hit a few trees with the Mercury, which I wasn’t a big fan of. They stripped a section of the canal of all the trees, so I think those may be the ones I hit. I hit 3 of them going up and down the canal in three different places, so watch out if you make it over there. I don’t remember those trees being there, so who knows how many other new surprises are out there. A lot of trees that used to be there are gone, so things have changed over there once again.
Here’s to hoping the weather will improve, and along with it, the fishing.
I’m jealous but about ready to get fishing again! Boat is almost 100% ready!
