The plan today was to take one of my canoes out for some Crappie and Bass fishing with my wife but due to an employee not showing I had to go in and work, thus getting home around 430 or so ad too late to take the canoe out.
We decided to load up some gear and hit a spot I thought may be holding a few crappie. We fished for about 1.5 hours and the action was constant with only a handful being small. 90 percent of em were slabs and all were Black crappie.
We used 2 outfits for the Crappie. 1 rod had a 1/16 oz monks pink head with a slider grub and the other had a small cork and spaced 2 ft apart was a 1/16 oz tube jig head with white Berkeley micro power tube.

It was a fun time with a few bream also caught and a couple of small but fat bass caught. We probably could have caught some nice bass and we even had a big bass attack the cork.

The fishing was so good I think I may could of Got Nats Dad on his first Crappie...

We could of had a nice fish fry but all were released to fight again.

What lake were you on?

I hit Jordan yesterday and didn't have much luck using slider jigs. used 1/16 oz jig heads and 1/8 oz to cover a little deeper. We were fishing a spot that has produced crappie by the cooler full last spring.

Went Back today with Mark B. I was afraid my Crappie spot bite maybe gone since last nights freezing temps and I was right. We decided to make a move down the lake to another set of riprap and throw Rat l traps and spots on the Sunny side of the Riprap. In about an hour we each caught maybe 5 bass on the lipless cranks. Not a monster I am posting but heard from others it was a tough bite today so we were happy with 10~ Bass. We also got to see a nice sunset so it was an awesome day.
