Got 5 crappies at Saganshskee!
Not a lot, but I got there at almost 7pm. I tried the east shore, the wall, the spillway. The crappies came from the south shore about 3 or 4 blocks west of the spillway. 2 little guys hit on a pinkish jighead and a yellow 1 inch tail. I thought maybe largemouths or pike might be active too. So I put on a 1/4 ounce grey, red, and black leadhead, with a 3" white Renegade (Wallmarts sells these) curl tail twister. Voila, 3 huge crappies maybe 5 feet out. Thought I had bass each hit from the 3. The bite was very short lived. About 7pm untill I almost couldn't see. Finished up at the wall, and almost snagged a huge beaver. I tried the inlet creek at 104th Ave and 107th Street, and had to hits before I tried the main lake. Observed carp jumping a lot, and lots of shad splashing near where the biggest 3 crappies hit. I didn't measure them, but, they would've made good sized largemouths if they were bass. So, huge ones might hit here for a few more weeks than dis-appear until fall, or another cold rainy period. Pink and yellow had more bites but blake grey, red, and a white tail got more bigger ones. Man, this slough is so shallow. Well, perhaps next time I'll spend more time. Oh, fish were all caought off points, and wood, brush, or trees in the water was sort of near where they all hit. Lots of surface activity, and wakes leaving thje shallows too as I approached? Maybe poppers, dry flies, for some whomper crappies?
