April 14th - Shad trip Caught zero shad and four nice yellow perch. Several LGMouth too.
April 15th - Crappie trip. No way was I going to do shad..Ran to some good water and almost limited out.
My stick for holding fish on was not in the boat..
April 16th - Crappie .. Ran to same spot and limited out with 30 plus nice crappie. Once again no stick...gotta find that stick.
April 20th - Crappie.. Got on them again but it was not easy. Had to move around a lot since cold front came in.
April 21 - Crappie .. cancelled
April 22 - Crappie ...Back on the bite and wee bit warmer weather.
April 23rd - Crappie little warmer and the crappie did bite ..almost a limit.
April 24th - Crappie Worked hard and ran out of minnows before our limit. White perch stealing our bait all day.
April 27th - Crappie Cold front shut them down again ..This the third time this month. But we did put some meat in the livewell with 5 cats and a big snakehead. Funny how after bleeding the big Snakehead out good it managed to open the cooler and jump out in the parking lot.
April 28th - Crappie Cold front still hampering bite.
April 29th - Crappie Sorta...Get an email night before trip that clients want to cast all day..Ok change of venue. Plan was shad/LGMouth/Crappie. No shad caught...12 LGmouth caught and one double. Casting minnows and bobbers lost four big cats and landed one. Then a few yellow perch and two monster crappie ended our day.
April 30th - Crappie Found some here and there but also found some big white perch and 5 cats..cooler was full.
May 1st - Crappie Another cold front shut them down. Caught 3 crappie all day.
To summarize April was one of crappiest crappie season ever.. to many cold fronts and shad never showed...or I missed them somehow..
Might be done depending on this next cold front. Maybe plant the garden instead.

Too bad about the crappy crappie season. April was March reincarnated. But you got some nice fishies!

Worst April ever for crappie on Lake Anna too. It appears that they came in early (Mid-March) and quickly left the shallows.
