Crappies at the feed trough?? - 05/08/10 02:10 PM
Lately I'm gone so much, I only get to feed on Fridays and Saturdays. When I fed last night, I got what seemed to be a lot of really gigantic bluegill coming up.
I usually don't fish where I feed, but I was curious about how big these fish really were. I got a rod with a #2 hook and piece of night crawler. Almost immediately I pulled out a 12-inch and a 14-inch crappie. I also got a 10-inch bass.
I don't know if the crappie were actually feeding, or if it was just coincidence that they were in the area when I threw in my line.
I usually catch less than a dozen crappie per year out of the pond, and none ever go back in. I don't think I've ever caught crappie off the end of my dock before. The few I catch are always in heavy structure.
Anybody else ever see crappie feeding on pellets?
