More Crappie to clean

Between neighbor / neighbors son / my pier yoyo's - had a couple dozen NICE size crappie that we cleaned today. After cleaning the 9" crappie over weekend - we not don't keep / clean 9" - we want bigger such as 10-11" minimum (which is what we cleaned today i.e. no more 9" - the fillets are not worth the 'work' - also we trying to pick out the 'thick' 10" i.e. 10" that are thick body make fillets worth the effort

Summary: Still catching crappie in shallow water - along bank in front of my house and despite fact the larger (keeper size) are hard to come by - we cleaned more than a couple dozen today

BTW: I still don't claim to be a 'serious crappie fisherman' - I'd rather catch catfish - and they are bigger easier to clean IMHO - but I do enjoy Crappie fishing when they come to my front door and I don't have to go looking (working) to get them

I do wish there was some shallow water around here to fish. Heck, I'd take some water that wasn't closed to boat traffic.

Everything is above flood stage and rising :(
