Me and the boy have been picking up a bucketful every couple days. They’re still pretty deep and slow. We’re slip corking so we can fish really slow. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/gc6QzV3d/FC5-EC7-A6-4-A61-481-F-99-BD-6935-A2-D14-FCC.jpg) Great picture!

A bit soon here; we're still in ice-out stages. Only a few lakes open water. Our crappie peak bite is around Mother's Day. It was probably in In-Fisherman that I read about fishing for them when the ice is receding. It said that if the edges were open water, to throw a jig out onto the ice and bring it back to drop down the face of the floe. Never had a chance to try it, but it intrigued me.

I do it almost like the guy in the video except I don't cut through and separate the filet in front of the tail, instead I flip the filet back over the tail and run my knife in between the skin and the meat so I don't have to hold on the edge of the skin to do so. When I am done the part you don't keep is all one piece and goes directly into a trash bag. Same here, but on good sized fish, whether crappie, bass or speckled trout, I keep the ribs and fry them too. Theres more meat there than one would think and I grew up in scarce times.  Sometimes on small bass or speckled trout I scale them and just fillet off the sides and fry with the skin on one side.

I wish I was catching crappie. Most of the surface water around here is still in the solid phase. :-(

Does it have big 'gills and catfish? It’s a 2acre farm pond Jag. Some big perch and bass in it too. We’re tied up in a nonsense access dispute out at the big flood control pond where we catch the 2 and 3 pound crappie at, maybe we’ll get it ironed out in time to fish them this spring.

I caught two males today and a 6 pound bass got off just before I would have had her on shore. It is soon going to be on in my favorite spots.

We won’t get started fishing here for about a month, but you guys are getting me anxious. ShortActionSmoker did cook up a nice bunch of last years fillets for my birthday dinner a few days ago.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

I would be happy eating cornmeal fried crappie 4 or 5 days a week. They are hard to get here in West Texas.

It's on here in Alabama, last week was fantastic, cold front came through on Sunday and Monday and shut em down a little, they'll fire back up today or tomorrow. 3 of us put 90 in the boat on Saturday in less than 3 hours. When the troll is on, it don't get any better. Nice... Big trout here in a few week. Upper Potomac. Typical Bay fish in a month or two. I'm jealous though. Crappie are fantastic.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
