I wish I had a picture of the black crappie I caught on a green beetle spinner back in 1983
I know it was s long time ago
I’m an old guy of 58 now but
I had 18 pounds of fish on a stringer we weighed at the Bridgehead bait shop at the foot of the Antioch bridge in Oakley ca.
After we fried them up an ate them we got out the ca state record book.
We figured we ate a state record fish.
The heaviest fish at that time was 2.2 kilos.
9 fish at 18 pounds
One of the lovelies was over the state record.
Pan fried and flaky white meat gobbled up!
Hahaha!
There’s a slough the runs under the bridge
It dead ends about a hundred yards to the east
Stripers get caught in there at high tide
You can catchem without a sinker on anchovies open bail
Let em run till they swallow it
The set the hook in their throat
Mostly keepers in spring
Shakers in the fall
My kids grew up on them
When I was a kid we used to jug them
Hang a leader off a 5 gal pail with hooks full of grass shrimp
Next day go looking for the pails
30 lb 40 stripers in the morning
Those days are gone now
Good memories
Too many people taking the shakers now
Fish don’t have enough time to grow big people take the babies
Shamefull
My grand kids think a shaker is a whopper!
I can’t show them how it was
Makes me sad
No more big fish

Where do you get crappie seed to grow them mixed with the grass?

Any one interested in it? Just a challenge among us, think crappie are found all over and it would be interesting to see fish from other parts of the USA!

The biggest was taller than the bucket.
The blue tub is how you move them when you can't/don't wann pick them up.
Minnows and crickets.
Feeding frenzy so it seemed.
