Beautiful September fishing weather and we went to Dalrymple to see if Crappies are biting. All we caught was just 1 at 14oz and a Jumbo Perch at a pound. I guess the water temperature is still not cool enough for the Crappies to come shallow to feed. We dropped our light tackles and start fishing for LM Bass, to our surprise they are very active and most of them are 1 to 2 lbs range. We each caught a bonus Bronze Back in the same batch of weed bed with the LM.
Overall it was a great day of fishing even we did not locate the Crappies 8-) 8-)

Re: 9-23 Dalrymple
Thanks for the great reports guys :-)
I always use lip gripper to handle those toothy critters...I found it easier to unhook them in the water without boating them too....but again some might think the gripper will damage the lower jaw of the fish.... oh well, the choice is yours ;-)
Good fishing!

we got that thing but dont like using it, we found that its not easy to clip onto the lower jaw as most pike usually refuse to open their mouths
, so we just bare hand it for smaller pike and using gloves for bigger ones, works faster, thanks anyway
