Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Got to the lake at around 4:30 after work and started pounding it for crappie......but only 3 fish in a hour and a half.  About 6pm I notice lots of crappie swirls way down the lake and out in the middle.  Hump it over there and it looks like an acre of crappie swirls and just out of my casting distance.  I can cast about 40 yds with the  6 lb braid, but they are 10 yds further out.  Cast with no luck for 30 minutes and then they start moving towards shore......hundreds and hundreds of swirls!  Then I catch one on almost every cast until 8:08 pm.  Final tally was 90 crappie and could have caught a 100 if I didn't have to meet my daughter for dinner.  Just non-stop action for 90+ minutes.  Most fish were cookie cutter 9-10" fish, but several slabs were mixed in.  Here are the best 5:
12.75"

12.75"

11.0"

11.5"

12.0"

Best 5 = 60.00"
