Three months went by fast, but not fast enough. It was amazing to finally be on the water. Fished last night from 7pm to 7am. There was a few bass and a few walleye, and lots of crappie. The wind was about 10kph before the sun went down. Wind speed dropped to almost nothing, temperature dropped down to 6 degrees by the time I left. Perfect night of fishing with only a couple bugs. Crank baits, jigs and plastic, what ever hit the water was hit by a fish. It was one of those nights when you could here the crappie popping the surface. Here the pop, cast the bait, catch a crappie. By 2am there was a crappie hitting almost every cast. By 6am the fish were gone just like that, not one hit from 6am until 7am. Here is a bad picture.

Another bad picture.

Another.

On a crank bait. A bit better, but no. LOL.

Beautiful crappie but dozens of small ones last night.

Kept one big walleye, one big crappie, and one big bass for a BBQ brunch for four. Bacon and eggs as well because it was technically breakfast for me, and I was very hungry. Just woke up and going fishing again in an hour. Stay safe.

Glad to know you are fishing again. Enjoy.

If your on Balsam I’m headed there tomorrow, pick you up?

Thanks for the report and congrats on outing and haul!

Well done crapppeeeman!!! Glad to see you finally got to go out and fish and definitely looks like you had a great night!!!!

Thanks RM I hope you are having some good fishing.

Fishing should be good again tomorrow. The wind change won't affect anything. Good luck.

Thanks, I think it will be even better tonight.

Thank you, the next three months are my favourite time of year. I got delayed by pizza for dinner. Heading out now until what ever O'clock.

Went from one end of Balsam to the other and skunked. The only thing that took a lure was these very small bass that hung onto a muskie bait. Weird!
