A Fun Morning of Crappie Fishing

[Tim Moore]

I headed out to a spot that I discovered late ice last season and caught some real slabs. Water temps haven't started dropping yet, but I was hoping the shorter days would trigger crappie to start looking at deeper water. To be sure I fished my way across a flat that had some good weeds and structure, but never landed a fish until I hit the 30' mark. I have been using the Sonarphone T-pod from my kayak this year and it has been great. The fish were suspended, but scattered about the water column so a fish finder was helpful. I also love that I haven't had to mount a fish finder to my yak. The schools of crappie that I found were really on the move so having the T-pod in tow saved me a lot of time. I caught a bunch of nice crappie, got some great photos, and had a lot of fun.
