Today's menu for winter Crappie



Headed to a near by Lake for some winter Crappie fishing this morning.
The Coopers Bug for the win today. Snow, rain and hail to go with a 30 plus mile an hour wind. The lake was real high and muddy and I'm in shock I was able to find them and limit with the conditions that I had. Good 1st day of the year on the water . 1st 2024 crappie.jpg
