20151025-MASTER ANGLER P'SEED AND TOP TIER B'GILL

20151025 ~ early Sunday we made a trek to the bridge on foot to test the bite from shore…
Earl hooked up quickly with a 26” Northern Pike and I had a couple on. Decide to load up the boat and head off to the launch and fish the panfish bite. We decide to fish and keep a slot of panfish of 15 B’Gill under 8” and 5 Crappie under 10” for a meal for four later tonight. Fish are rarely kept for the freezer.
We were quickly filling the live well with the B’Gill but were having a hard time with the crappie. Most of them being caught on jigs were between the 10.5 and 12” mark. Popular bait of choice was the Chain N Crank. Slip bobber producing second in shallow water less than 4’ foot deep.
We moved to a protected point from the cold wind and Earl quickly hooked up with a old warrior 9.5” B’Gill with some great proportions than a Master Angler P’Seed just nudging the nine inch mark on a 3” swim tail jig that this pig completely swallowed to the jig head. What a Hawg! Fishing the period of the full moon pays off!!. His second master Angler fish out of my boat in two months! The fishing continued with great results with crappie hitting on jigs at my favorite waypoints till we called it quits. Exiting on a great bite to clean fish and prepare a good panfish meal.
