Went fishing early some morning a week or so ago with my boss and one of his friends. We left Ames at 3am to see if we could put some walleyes in the freezer. We fished low and slow at the Brushy Creek spillway. We were there for about 4 hours will a snout rocket and a smallmouth being our only catch. Slow day indeed. We headed over to Don Williams Lake at about 8am and fished the now unbelievably low lake. The lake was down 20ft as they drained it to implement a fish kill to kill off the shad. Despite this we managed to catch 40 some crappies all between 8 and 10 inches.
We cooked up some that night to feast and the rest went in the freezer. Great outing indeed.
Couple of days ago I went back there again with my boss Aaron and his wife and we ended up with three beautiful stringers of crappies. Again, we caught a ton! 55 in two hours is not too shabby. This time I was able to put some in the freezer. Rachel may not like fish but I love crappie. The only pics we got of that outing were on Aaron's camera, which is MIA. He thinks we left it on the dock where we took the pictures. Bummer.
Stay Tuned
