Here's a Crappie Cole caught and released a few weeks ago. The fish hit a Smelt 2" Power Minnow under a float.

Good fishing,

Here's my daughter Amanda with a couple dandy gills from last night. The one on the left is 9.75" that my wife caught and the one on the right is a 9.50" that Amanda caught. We probably caught 30-40 gills and kept 10 for a meal. Slip bobber and small/med leech over the tops of weeds, in about 10-12' of water.

The crappies were still holding in the same spot as earlier this week ,and today I was able to hook into a few larger fish. All were caught on a glow pink #6 Ratso under a Thill Stealth float.

Nice pics! those kids are having a blast catchn all those nice gills!

[jonny_redhorse]

was out Saturday evening on my favorite "gill" lake...conditions were perfect!...mirror smooth water...fish were surfacing near the lilly pads...here's an example of the weekends outing...my bait of choice was a 2" floating rapala...cast it near the pads...wait 30 seconds or so for the rings to disappear...wiggle the rapala just a "tat"...then they'd "smack" it .....all catch and release of course!

[Corey Bechtold]

Nice job!!! Do you have any problems getting the trebble hooks out of their mouth?

I thought about putting on a single hook instead. Any pointers for beginers in "Cranking Panfish"?

Good fishing,

Thanks Corey!...actually,out of say a dozen of these gills' that I boated...only one gave me a little more trouble with both hooks....just a pair of hospital hemostats did the job quite efficiently and quickly for removal and didn't hurt any of the fish...usually I found only one of the hooks was hanging in the lip and a good percentage was the back hook or tail hook of the rapala...another thing I noticed is that most of the gills' were larger and figured the smaller one's knew enough not to even try to hit the rapala... out of their league I guess ...I must also comment on the color variance on your pics of your gills versus the ones I was catching...the ones in your pics are much lighter in coloration,the ones in the lake I frequent tend to be much darker and even the shape seems to differ somewhat...but a a gill is a gill!...they all fight the same!
