January trolling

[Duck-Slayer]

Got out yesterday for some cold weather leadcore trolling for crappies. 19 Crappie, 1 trout, 1 channel catfish went home with us, fun trip with @idfishnhunt

Nice!

Love the blacked out backgrounds. Hotspotters suck.

Too many internet scouters that don’t want to put in the time plus not too many lakes in Idaho...

Good work Duck-Slayer but I honestly thought this was another climate thread.

Your just stirring up crap-pie and bottom feeder sob's!

Pretty enjoyable - Thanks for sharing! The fishing weather we have is almost May-ish! (trooolllling).

Forgot some details in the original post. 1.2 mph and 3 colors of leadcore with a number 5 Rapala in the color above.

Glad to see someone doing the type of January trolling that doesn’t come from a bad case of cabin fever.

Interesting! Nice batch of fish! I've never heard of anyone trolling leadcore for crappies. It's done often here for walleyes of course, but we don't have large crappie populations. Also interesting that you're in the boat today and I just drove my 3/4 ton diesel off the lake from an afternoon of bluegill fishn Keep after em!

Haha +1

Mine typically consists of talking shit on monster muleys and IPA's.

Looks like a fun day! Did the cat hit the crankbait too?

Yeah I’ve been doing this for about 4-5 years. I used too use a bottom bouncer to get the little cranks down 30+ feet. Now it’s leadcore plus I get to use it for Walleyes on the Columbia River and I use leadcore for catching giant perch also at Lake Cascade. I like trolling!
