Although searching for crappie, he only managed a dink yellow perch, as well as three bass, including a 2-2 (pictured above right), 1-12 and 1-1. He caught all the fish in the main creek. "The feeders were just too shallow," he explained.
Ron went on to note it turned out to be a beautiful morning, but the bite was so-so, and water was
LOW. He acknowledged that a totally bluebird kind of day didn't help his cause any. "Will try for an evening bite and hopefully find some crappie this time," he said.
The only lure that worked this morning was the XTS Minnow.
Ron headed out to Tecumseh with a dozen minnows about 3 p.m. this evening, but as he admitted, "I should have
waited." Why? Because he didn't get a nibble until sunset, and then the bites came frequently, resulting in a few hookups of the targeted crappie.
"I caught 10 that measured about 11.5 inches--just right for tacos, yum!" he said. "Seemed like the tiny yellow perch were more interested in the
minnows."
While trolling around with the minnows, Ron threw the XTS Minnow and Whopper Plopper to
structure and shoreline but couldn't find any bass. The conditions, as he described them, were "dead calm, with a nice sunset and the rising super bright moon. Large flocks of ducks also were flying overhead. Just wish it was about 10 degrees warmer," he concluded.
