Nice fish guys!

Myself and fishing partners have been getting some real nice gills and crappies around the metro area and here are some pics. These fish were caught a couple weeks back, all in deeper weeds in about 10-13 fow. All mine were on a couple different jigs with little atom wedgees and micro nuggies, and a couple others were on fatboys with waxworms.

This is the biggest gill I have seen myself in a while 9.75"!

nice gills!!!!!!

where were you fishing.

Thanks Jordyn, but I'm not going to say any names, but looking at your location there area pretty good panfish lakes in your area, and in Cass County I've heard some real good stuff.

I've fished lots of lakes in the metro area and most of them are full of stunted gills and crappies from over explotation of the bigger ones. Try out some new lakes if all you are catching is small stuff, it can be a lot of work, but thats part of fishing and its rewarding when you find good fish. This time of the year especially I'd reccomend some of the larger lakes to try out. Also I find I'm fishing weed related areas much of the time when on the same lake there are piles of shacks out deep. While they might be catching fish, some of the shallower stuff may be overlooked.

One was close to 10". It was just a hair under. The other went 9.5". They were really thick fish though.

I had a good photographer with me didn't I? grin

He made them look like 12"ers!

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.
