I went to the Lagoon today and got there around 6:15 and launched. It was pretty calm when I got there, but by the time I was in the water, the wind picked up considerably. I made my way over to my spot and then saw some crappie. I was sight fishing for them and I managed to get one! My very first real sight fish, haha! It was a nice 1.5 lb crappie. It was really dark compared to all of the other crappie I have caught. I fished some more, but by this time the wind was really bad. At 9:30 I decided to make my way back to the ramp to get out of the water. I started across, but the waves were pushing me right into the buoy line, so I decided to just get out of the water on the West side and walk across the bridge back to the East side to get to my car. I think today would have been a good day if the wind wasn't so bad. I was excited about that crappie! You really have to work for them when you can actually see them. I saw Goonie today and fished and talked with him for a while. He did better than I did with the crappie. I think I was trying to catch some of the fish that he released, so they didn't want to get caught again, lol.
My nice 1.5 lb crappie. Released.
