I made my first panfish outings since early ice this weekend and man what a bite!We started Saturday morning on a small lake outside Crosby targeting bluegills and only drilled 6 holes all day,thats nice for a change.The fishing was outstanding with around 100 gills caught and over half were 8 inches or better with a couple bonus 14 inch crappies.With our gills down we switched to crappies on Sunday and pulled 2 limits in a couple hours on another small lake north of town,6 more holes .The gills were suspended outside the weedlines in 15-20 fow and killing a diamond jig with a waxie or plastics.The crappies were a little deeper and suspended a little higher,these fish also were caught on the diamond jig and waxie.I must have tried a dozen different jigs both days and the diamond was the killer hands down.It was nice to not have to rip holes all day to get some fish,but I was due for one of these days. Til next time.....
