What do you consider...

A good day of crappie fishing. Apparently catching a limit would be a good day. No, that would be an awesome day. But we all know how hard it is to catch a limit. If it were easy, everybody would do it.

But back to my question. What would you consider a good day of crappie fishing? I think if you can catch 8-10 nice keepers, that's a GOOD day.

IMO me just having the time out on the water is a great day all by itself, to catch fish is just a bonus...

THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Around 10 fish is the threshold i use to decide whether it is worthwhile to keep fish to clean them, which i consider a productive day.

Any day you're above ground and crappie fishing is a damn fine day!!

Good weather, light breeze, not too crowded on the lake, daylight savings time.
I like a fair to good bite, but don't mind looking for the fish.
Since the wife isn't much of a fish eater, we'll keep a few every once in a while.
For us it's the going, and being on the water. Catching is a bonus.
Learning jig fishing is still fun for me, sometimes...

Catching 20 to 25 crappies with 8 to 10 being keepers to make two good meals is a good day for me. Love the thump!

First , a day = about 4 hours for me. Less than 5 , these fish win the lottery , get to
go free. 5-10 , ok , nothing to write home about. 10- 15 = good day , 15-25 = excellent.

Second

I've had days where I only caught 1 or 2 nice crappie, but because I may have learned something new that day or found a spot or discovered a certain way to fish I would get excited and considered that a great day..Love learning and trying new things!!

A good day for me would be catching 50+ and bagging 5-10 slabs and my thump detection skills got better

Any fish cought is a good day. My take home limit is 10.

I prefer culling through 100 unders to get 10 good keepers over fishing a super slow bite but catching only good keepers... if that makes sense.

I’ve had really good days. However, I seem to remember the days when I worked for them and ended up with 10-12. Just the right amount to filet.

9 fillets if you can understand lmao!

Im with kdub 100%

Great weather and a good bite will do the trick for me.

I usually keep 12 crappie. A good trip for me is catching one 2lbs or larger.

Just trolling & finding "new to me" brushpiles sometimes is a reward all in it's self. Sometime the piles are really old but will yield a couple of really Big crappie.

Anything less than 10 and I'd prefer not to keep and clean them. I'd consider a good day anything over 15 keepers. But I've also had an awesome time just floating around watching the bald eagles, woodpeckers, blue jays, hawks and cardinals going about their business. Sometimes the peace of being out in the wild alone is worth more than the catch.

It's different depending on the Lake.

Lake Fork - Good Day 12 a limit is remarkable but happens every year. ( add five small bass under the slot. Bait stealers must die.)

Ray Roberts - Good day 8-10 A limit is remarkable and happens every now and then.

Possum Kingdom - Good day 3-4 Never had a limit of crappie at PK. Got 20 once.

All that said, the wife will eat one fillet and I'll eat two or three. If I catch two nice crappie I'm hooked up for at least one nice meal.

3 keepers is enough to feed my small family. Anything over that is home run for me.

It depends on what my goal(s) is/are for that day. There are days that I don't even have a rod out...just scanning and marking areas to return to another day. Then there are other days when I really want to try for a "meat run".

First off for me...I'm just thankful every time I get a chance to be on the water...fish and waypoints/information are just the bonus.

Now during tournament pre-fishing/scouting...and tournament days...that's a whole 'nother topic

Good Day? Physically able to get the boat out and be comfortable enough to enjoy Gods creation. Everything else is an add on.
