Another warm Saturday, the ice was pretty sketchy and melting all around us, but the crappie bite was on, and a few more species showed up, tpo.

Popped 20 or so HBC, and I caught my first ever Nebraska Master Angler BC, and first MA of any species from my pond. Most fish ran from 12-14" like these:









And here is the mack daddy!



Caught 5-6 SMB, largest around 16"



3 YP to 12.5"



Also caught 3 WE - all we've caught have been 11" so far. Photo here is the largest of the 2011 stockers caught yet - just over 14" - happy to see!



My goal Saturday was to catch more WE and an MA YP. At least happy to see a larger WE and the MA HBC was a bonus!



Fish on!
