Time for a Fish Fry


That's what Ron chose as the subject line for his latest email.

It seems he and his son, Alex, headed to Lake Tecumseh Friday, hoping to catch enough crappie for a good fish fry this weekend. Turns out both of them had some luck.

Ron's tally included a 1-6 bass (see below left), four chain pickerel to 20 inches, and a bunch of crappie. Meanwhile, Alex claimed crappie bragging rights for the trip with one measuring 14.75 inches and weighing 1-8 (see above right). They collectively took home 10 nice ones for the frying pan.

Ron explained that the bass and chain pickerel were slamming the XTS Minnow, while the crappie were interested only in the beetlespin. He was using an ultralight rig for the crappie, which he described as "a blast."

"The weekend looks fair to middlin'," noted Ron, "so we shall see."
