8-23-08 Sunday
Bob Benson and his two grand kids, Andrew and Emily Allen joined me for a day of fishing crappies this past Sunday. They had a very successful walleye fishing trip earlier this year and now they wanted to learn all they could about catching late summer Lake Wisconsin crappies.
Andrew and Emily started out using minnows below a live bait rig and Bob fished with a small jig/plastic combo tipped with a waxworm. Both rigs worked early and often. Our best depth was right around 10' deep.
By 8:30am or so, the three of them had already put eighteen 11" to 12" crappies in the live well. None of them wanted to take more than what they thought was reasonable so they decided right then and there not to keep anymore than 25 between the three of them.
After lunch, Bob took a break and Kim, (Andrew and Emily's Mom) joined us for a few hours. The bite had cooled off quite a bit but she still managed to put several crappies and a bluegill or two in the boat.
It was a real pleasure to be able to share my boat with you all today Bob, Kim, Andrew and Emily! We sure did pack a lot of memories into your two trips this year.
Take care and good fishing everyone!
