I heard from my old friend, Bret, this morning. It gives me joy to hear him report on the copious amounts of crappie being caught on the lake I grew up catching mostly bullhead but a few crappies on, Great Lake. For the past few years the lake has been in pretty serious trouble with blue/green algae blooms due to high phosphorus levels caused (probably) by run-off from the farms that surround the lake in all directions for miles. I think I got that right.
According to Bret, the crappie bite has been hot for the past week or so. He and a couple other anglers caught nearly 250 in a few short hours. Above is a nice sampling taken home to be turned into delicious fillets.
