Had an opportunity to join some of my club members on a trip to Heidecke Lake for some crappie fishing. Left the dock about 09:30 and started out in the boat launch area pitchin' jigs into the rocks and nuthin'. Picked up and headed out to open water and started watchin' the graph for a good spot with some fish. Found it and proceeded to boat over 80 crappie, while keeping 60. We were throwing back 7 & 8inch fish. Water temp was in the low 50's. We used 6'6" crappie rods and small reels loaded with 8lb test mono, a number 6 size hook, a small foam float. We were fishing in 14-15FOW and our floats were set at about 11ft. My regular fishin' partner picked up a nice 26inch, 7lb walleye, which was photographed and then released to go make some more little babies. We like to think that we are somewhat of a conservation group, that is returning large fish to go and procreate so we can continue to come back to these waters.
