They look good but I am unfamiliar with the color pattern... looks like what we call sunfish here, but never seen that color pattern.

Looks like a good day, and some great eating. Crappie is my favorite fish to eat that we catch around here.

Nice looking crappie Coach. Man I wish I had time to go fishing…this work thing is cramping my lifestyle.
My buddy sent this to me after dark last nite. He catches them off his back porch whenever he's hungry for fish. I can't understand why he does that after supper!

What do you catch them on?

Hard core neighbor kid was out last weekend on our watershed lake. Ended up keeping 4 crappie, throwing the bass back.
For taste, I would also.
My buddy has his retirement home set up where the porch is right over his stocked pond. Works well for him as he is in a wheel chair. His favorite bait is a can of whole corn, altho he sometimes uses a spinner bait.

Farm pond . One of our good neighbors brought some from lake Guntersville and turned them loose several years ago. Really has hurt our bass and bream populations. But we take out everyone we catch ! Never catch a small one .

I am anxious for the ice to go out on our reservoirs so I can go catch some crappie.

I almost exclusively night fish for crappie, a dying art, but I drop fish 'em on currents with a double rig baited with shiners. I fetch plenty of cats and river stripers this way as well. Keep what I want to eat, plenty of folks around who want the rest. Fill a cooler easy like.

Why I asked, we have a vegetarian fish that used to be called ******s but these days Black Bream or Luderick, they have a similar shape body but smaller mouth. They are caught under a float using a fine weed twisted around the hook, very good fighting fish. Your Crappie is obviously carnivorous.

I would like to see that weed rig setup !
We used to catch bullfrogs with a piece of red flannel on a hook.

My dad and I caught literally thousands of crappie on an ox bow lake off of the Arkansas river ( named, old river). We would go out with a 12 ft flat bottom, two five gallon buckets and a three hp motor. We fished brush tops with cane poles and tube jigs. When the five gal buckets were full ( didn't typically take very long) we would head in and filet our catch. Best eating ever and best memories ever.
