Lake Ohop

Post by Slabking » Mon May 26, 2008 7:09 pm

We hit Ohop Saturday in the late afternoon to see if the crappies were moving up yet. After checking 3 good holes we only hooked 2 largemouths and a few bluegills. The pads are not even up yet. Most years there would already be pad fields up and the crappies would be in the middle of spawn. Not this year. So we moved a bit off shore and starting fishing brush in 9-12 feet of water and started hitting fish...mostly females loaded with eggs. After about 3 hours we had caught about 30 or so. Most of them were from 9 to 11 inches but we only kept fish that were 10" or bigger. They should start to spawn soon as we did hook a couple of males in 5' of water...water temp was 65.1 to 67.2

I haven't got into one crappie yet this year, good job finding some though.

I caught 4 at Lake Roesiger the other night after about two hours of fishing. They were out deeper in 20 feet of water.

I have never met a fish yet that respected a big purchase. You can own a $100 boat or you can own a $30,000 boat. You might be more comfortable, but don't expect any fish to care about your investment.
