went back today , got around 10, Lost just as many. They are hard to get in the boat . Lost another monster right at the boat. 2nd time in a row such crappp. They seemed to like smaller minnows today .. Still only a few in each spot . Tried the deeper spots down river and not one bite

walleyeman, up here in beaver dam we have an 18" minimum size limit so we have had to learn how to eat the bigger fish, fillet the fish then cut them into 3/8 inch fish sticks,and they will taste just like the smaller fish, they just get too thick to cook all the way, thats why the fishy taste

as cd says thats about the average size... We got one that was 13..... I lost one that woulda made that one look like a baby,maybe even mounter potential, but it was lost so oh well.......... Pictures of 10 crappies isnt anything special to me.... Especially when they were hard to come by and the picture would only get an extra 10 or so people out there.........Believe what u may i could care less , cause it was pretty slow to say the least.... There can be good days out there though so either go fish or wait for the phantom pix of 10 crappie i or most people are not going to post lol . . .. . Better yet how bout i post a pic of 10 crappie outta somewhere else to throw ya all off,so all them waiting for the pix can flock to go get them based on one Picture.....Seems about the norm on here.....ahahaha GL with this cold weather coming....Should be better fishing if ya have the balls to sit out there........Best day on this stretch in a boat came 2 years ago in december....Ice coming down the river,And limits of walleye being caught.However i didnt post pix then either so i must just be talking out of my Butt...Ahahah GL out there . There's fish to be had here just like everywhere else..

10" and 11" crappies probably ain't worth the time to photo...I've seen more crappie fishermen this fall all over the river - from Jefferson to Blackhawk - than I ever remember. They all seem to be catching more crappies than I'm catching walleyes.

Was down yesterday fishing the trees from the boat launch to the treament plant. Not a single fish to show for it. MY plan of attack was a bobber set at 2 feet small gold hook and a crappie minnow. Was hoping for a couple for breakfest but it looks like i might have to wait till ice.

drowning-fish, there's a web page for that. Ever try a google search? Try google.com, type Rock River Water Levels and press enter. Anyway, the best time to go fishing is when you can. There's always enough water in the river to wet a line somewhere. Good luck!

was planning to head out tonight, but i never got any info back about the water levels. so, in that case, i guess ill just have to wait til next week.
