My son and I fished Roosevelt Salt river side. Morning fishing was really slow - we were trying straight minnows in 20-35ft of water in trees/structure, but in our spots that worked last week weren't as active with fish or when they were we couldn't get bites. I think partially our issue was a minnow problem as I accidentally shocked them earlier that morning with cold ice so they were really lethargic. By afternoon, minnows recovered and were active and happy and we caught 8 nice sized crappie with minnows at our last 2 spots. Note quite the numbers we expected, however I go into these trips with low goals (e.g. don't get skunked!) and our goal changes as the day goes on. So we were content with our results. Saw JT (crappie_4_life) out there but didn't hear how he did but probably well he's a stick.
Was nice to get my son onto some crappie as we usually don't do well at Roosevelt. Son wanted to clean them and he did a nice job. Fish tacos for dinner.
Good looking fish Matt.
