Quick report for lake Wa. We hit the lake at 10:30am looking for crappies up shallow. After trolling cranks and jigs for about two hours with not much to show for it we decided to hit a hole I have not fished in about three seasons. We starting working jigs in 17' of water bouncing the jigs off sunken pilings. It started to pay off in short order.
By 3pm we had 41 fish in the boat and not one was under 12". The smallest fish weighted in at 1.2lbs and the big girl for the day was 15.5" and 2.2lbs. Not a bad way to spend the day .These fish are not ready to spawn yet...maybe another two weeks or so. We must have tossed back at least 60 others. Just a great day on the water. Sorry about the close up shots but I'm fishing in a well known area....most guys fish it for bass though (not knowing there are crappies in there) so I have to keep this one under wraps for now.

Nice report slabking,, haven't seen you on here in awhile, I enjoy your reports, you are the go-to-guy for crappie. (And right you are about those close-up photos,,, I would be looking at all the trees and docks trying to figure out your game. LOL

where do you launch your boat? Or where is good spots to launch a boat. I have a huge map of lake washington, but my Dad and Bro have no idea where to launch. I always fish behind Husky Stadium on the dock. But, I have yet to discover Crappie. We went out to Oregon last week and caught about 150 crappie, but not that size. Any help would be appreciated Slab

Topdawg, google "sunnyside ramp" it's a nice ramp and it is free to launch.
