Guys, I have a question. Though I must preface it with the fact that I have very little experience with crappie. Which is better to eat, Black or White crappie, or are they the same?

Comment by JWinpisinger on October 7, 2017 at 8:52pm

lol Allen, I'd be happy to read a dime at 1ft.

Comment by John Sheehan on October 7, 2017 at 7:03am

I was wondering if there were Lake Trout there.

Comment by Allen Morgan on October 6, 2017 at 7:14pm

No idea.  Haven't been there.  It's word-of-mouth from a friend at work about water clarity.

Comment by John Sheehan on October 6, 2017 at 8:07am

What species are found in that lake Allen?

Comment by Allen Morgan on October 5, 2017 at 6:10pm

There's at least one lake up in northern MI, possibly the UP, that is so clear you can read a dime 20' down, maybe deeper.

Comment by John Sheehan on October 5, 2017 at 8:54am

I think of Maine lakes as clear ya have to get out past 12 ' for the Smallmouths .Just past where ya cant see bottom anymore .

Comment by dick tabbert on October 5, 2017 at 7:38am

If you can see 5' down that's I would consider clear were as a lot of the Michigan lakes I consider almost crystal clear.

Comment by John Sheehan on October 5, 2017 at 7:16am

The water these crappie came from showed a Chartreuse spinnerbait about 5 feet down where we were fishing for the crappie .The pickerel water wasn't as clear.

Comment by Allen Morgan on October 5, 2017 at 4:17am

Yup.  I've found that the little 5' UL rig that strung with 6 lbs test Nanofil is actually a pretty good "distance casting" rig, especially from a low seated position.  It's either make a long cast, or fish deep.  AND, my sonar wiring needs to be redone, as my sonar wouldn't fire up this past weekend.....
