Well Thursday I decided to go to Helfrich golf course and fish the lakes in the back. I fished most of the day with not much luck. I just circled the larger lake in the back with all the trees around it. As I was about to quit and head out I found a deep spot with a bunch of stick ups and I started catching crappie. I caught about 10 in the last 1 1/2 hrs of daylight I had left. None of them were big, 6 of them were about 8 inches. Friday I tried bluegrass in the morning and it was packed there. I caught a few bass fishing with minows but that was it. It was too windy there so I went back to Helfrich and fished the same spot. I ended up catching about 25 crappie total, and 14 were keepers ranging from 8-10 inches. I ran out of minows and all I had left were meal worms and I was catching them on those too. So I was pretty happy with my first crappie fishing experience. And they tasted great last night.
