Madison lake today!

[Jdrummer]

This piggy hit at 5:45 p.m. tonight on a forage minnow and a crappie minnow head. She came in suspended 7 foot over 15 fow. She measured 12 3/4 inches . We ended up with 5 crappies total with a few really nice fish. Wierd thing was we had no bites on the bobbers
P.S. the eyes are going 

Walleye came on the same lure as the crappies.
wiggle wiggle dead stick was key to make them strike!

jeez drummer if you weren't such a giant people would really get to see how big that 'eye was i think he prolly pushed 13" didn't he i bet he put up a big fight on the noodle rod 

[Jdrummer]

I went out solo to almost same spot as yesterday on madison today and did pretty good . I had a few missed fish at the hole and a few missed bobber downs  The fish were really active compared to yesterday ! here is a few pics of the catch.

me and drummer and kgauker where out last night did pretty good cought lots of fish ... most all the fish came at power houre and they would really really hit hard you just had to do a lot of hole hopping to find them they are on a very good feeding pattern right now we did a lot of looking must of poped 80 holes to try to find the fish in the day time becouse we knew that the night bit would be there but we wanted to find a day bit well we fond some fish over deeper water but they where moveing aroind a lot and not feding much out there

Nice fish.  It looks like it might be worth a drive down there from Shakopee one of these days.

[Jdrummer]

Thanks Ryan! I'll be out tommorrow for shure! storm comming for tuesday so I hope they will turn on hard core tommorow! Ill be shure to post pics.

[kgauker7]

sorry ryan i don't think drummer took any pics of the fish considering i was the one catchin the fish lol jk the minnow under a float seemed to rule the roost in my opinion drummer might say different

[Jdrummer]

Ya , sorry about no pics  I only caught one crappie when running holes and missed 5 bobber downs! light biters and i noticed there was alot of perch in the area this time out.

[kgauker7]

yea see drummer i figured out why you were missing the bobbers here's the steps 1) reel up slack 2)feel for the fish 3) set the hook 4) yell FISH ON! haha jk i'm sure you just fished with mike to often and forgot how to hook a fish on the bobber

[walleyeguy35]

Leaving bobbers unattended while out "hole hopping" is illegal, they coun't as an unattended line. 

[lightsout]

Glad you brought that up I was kinda thinking the same thing!!

[kgauker7]

notice we never said anything bout them being unattened drummer just plain missed the fish   

[Jdrummer]

I did not leave any lines "unattended" I was sittin in my house when I missed the bites. I got fed up with missing them so I reeled the bobber up and went running holes! Thanks for your concern though walleyeguy.

ok i see how it works now im gone for a little bit and this happens just remember   kyle when i put on the pan fish clinic on duck lol

[kgauker7]

mike i also remember the 6 or 7 fish you missed on a bobber while fishing on madison and the countless number of more bites you also missed while jigging lol

[7outof10]

yes kyle but i still think the clinic i put on still makes up for that lol bad night of mine but i did have the big fish of the night the a crappie that was over 12"

[kgauker7]

mike i think you forgot to put a decimal in your number it should look like this 1.2"

[Jdrummer]

yes kyle but i still think the clinic i put on still makes up for that lol bad night of mine but i did have the big fish of the night the a crappie that was over 12"

The crappie was exactlly 12"  :bonk:not over ,not under
