Thanks Colby!
I've caught 3 more since then about the same size and they do not go back in the pond!
With having to keep yours in-check, for my Crappie being at this size, your best recommendation for bait to catch them on? So far they've been hitting worms but sporadically.
Thanks again!
Are you talking plastic worms or nightcrawlers? Minnows are great for crappie and if you cant get minnows, a small fluke bait works really well. Look for Zoom "baby bass" flukes in walmart and put them on a #3 or 4 gamagatzu hook. They are going to be hunting for bass hatchlings this time of year so they will eat the zooms up. Couple of years ago I could go through an entire pack of these in an afternoon catching em'
If the crappie are too small to use minnows or flukes, you can try small crappie jigs or my favorite... the beetle spin. The white body with the red dot works best for me. Heck you can probably get a few on crickets as well.
