Out on Kerswill with a good bite

20150816-Started out the early afternoon to test some jig patterns and rod and line combinations for the Trophy Crappie Quest session for early evening. Hit a small pod of crappies between 9 and 11 inches. The Jelly Jig is showing well with the crappie bite with pink winning overall in color.
The early evening bite brought along my wife Jeri and Earl son Connor. Just as we motored into a shallow bay my wife hooks into a 24” Northern on the first cast and a LMB on the second. Sheesh! She was a terror the rest of the evening her targets weren’t panfish but the pred bite.
I hooked up with a decent crappie straight away on the Jelly Jig as well as a few B’Gill. The slip bobber wouldn’t produce. Many panfish were caught in the bay but as evening wore on we settled into the deeper edges where I found schooling fish on the sonar. I scanned a few areas and marked a few waypoints and worked em one after another. There was a small fly hatch going on and all the fish were suspended and feeding up.
It was a decent bite overall but not as the session we experienced 2 weeks ago with the full moon. The Jelly Jig performed well during the daylight hours and then the darker plastic bodies performed better as the light dwindled.
Caught my best fish of 12.2” as well as the last on the “Calling of the Last Cast”

a nice night out with family fishing.

that gen. 7 model seems to be working great for you slip stinker;;;  im thinking of getting a chirp 5 for my boat

[Slip Sinker]

Carl I have two models now that do mapping the elite 4 HDI and the elite 7 HDI.

Someday when I get my fishing budget straightened out the gen models are in the forecast

The elite 4 HDI is used in the kayak as well as ice fishing.

slip stinker;; I am starting to check on some lowrance brands now;; getting my christmas wish list started;;;; LOL

[Slip Sinker]

i enjoyed our conversation yesterday Carl... depth sounders and fishing.. gotta love it.

thanks for doing the upfront groundwork on the sonars... sounds like you'll be in the market before me.

[Slip Sinker]

make sure you check the Lowrance Outlet Store and research all the models... remember the models with the suffix X have no GPS and any map chip added to them will not position your boat on the map.
