2/23 El Cap - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Siebler · 02-24-2007, 11:42 PM

That couldnt have bee put better. Both RoyM and RoyJ are crappie masters. I would definatly attend a crappiefest at el cap on the yaks. Last time i did such a thing was Crappiefest at hodges 4 years ago. Molbasser, Flatbadge, and others were present. I bet we could get a few of those guys to go. Last time when we got done fishing we had a shore lunch then many went back out. It was awsome Crappie (and catfish) tacos and a fun day.

I could in fact take the skiff and be Bait headquarters as it has a large capacity tank that we could fill with shinners. Maybe i could get my buddy to man it while i yak.

MBF style anyone?

Larry, cool pics. I used to fish crappie a bit in the midwest, mostly walleye, never have here.

CJ I'd be in for the crapfest. Pick a date.

Ryan, my through hull temp looked like 59.

Nice report. I used to take my kids crappie fishing when we lived back east & it was always a blast on ultralight tackle. It was all C&R until a friend talked me into into keeping a couple for the table. I was really surprised to learn how tasty they were!

I never knew there was a thriving crappie fishery in So Cal.
Gonna have to break out the ultralight stuff and give it a try!

Here is a great online resource for So-Cal lakes. This comes out every 2 weeks in FishRap.
