Title: Bob Hirsch Crappie Classic - Roll Call
Post by: sandman on September 26, 2017, 08:25 AM
Who's coming?

When are you planning on being there?

El Presidente and I should be there around 1pm on Thursday if all goes as planned.

We'll be bringing the fry rig for Saturday night but always appreciate any extra fryers.

Fish Hawk can't do his world-famous bird on Friday night so let's hear some ideas.

Bed of coals for BYO meat?

I couldn't get Thursday night off, so I won't be there until Friday. Probably right about noon

50 / 50 chance I can make it up Thursday. It looks as if I may be in between jobs at that time. If not I'll be up Friday night. Not sure when Larry is arriving.

Might just be me or me and the boys. Arriving Friday maybe later afternoon not sure. Open fire pit Friday night sounds good.

4 Guys in a little Boat will he minus 3 of us, but Sparky has offered up his back seat to the Fish Man. I’ll be there either Thursday after dark, or early Friday morning.  Most likely, Thursday night.

Art, not looking for honey holes or anything but do you know of anyone that has caught some crappie up there lately? I am looking for that warm and fuzzy feeling going into the derby

I am trolling areas that I have caught crappie this time of year trying to locate a few schools on brushpiles. The lake level has never been 2114' this time of year before so my previous waypoints are of little use! After I locate a school I vertical them. Many bunches won't bite for me and when I do catch one or two I leave and look for more. I'm catching quite a few channel cats while I'm doing this (not good). I think they will get more active as the water cools so I'm optimistic there will be quite a few fish caught at the derby. I look forward to seeing you all and best of luck to everyone.  .......Art

From this weeks g and f fishing report :dontknow:

It has been several months since I have received positive crappie fishing reports. Curt Rambo of Tonto Basin reported that crappie are finally starting to school and he caught about a dozen crappie on each of two recent trips. Curt stated that some structure, either rock or brush, must be present in about 20 foot depths for crappie to be present. He uses a vertical fishing technique using an ultra-light power rod and Power-Pro braided line. This combination of rod and line is extremely sensitive which is needed to detect the slight bite of a crappie.
