Put in at Harrison Bay. Started at Waconda Bay and worked our way up to Opossum creek. We fished deep structure, deep docks and bluffes. We ended up with 8 keepers, caught around 20 to 25 total. Caught all fish on the very bottom. A few of them were caught by accident. Had a twist in the line after casting. Got the twist out, started reeling and had a fish. Phone rang, line in the water. Had to answer. Got the phone situated so I could talk and fish. Started reeling. "Dang" had a fish. Brian wasn't catching at first. He asked what count I was catching them on. I said "100". He looked at me kinda funny. I told him I was letting it fall all the way to the bottom. I tried different colors of Bobby Garland, the best was Outlaw special. Brian's best color was sunrise. We were using 1/16 oz with #2 hooks. Water temp was 87 when I looked at it.

Good job! I fished 3 days last weekend and the last 2 days and only caught 1 keeper Crappie, several bait steeling White bass and a green fish or 2. My crappie supply is non existent. emoThumbsup

That's the way its been all summer, since the middle of may. A couple of throwbacks, a keeper or two if I was lucky. Just waiting for the water temperature to start coming down.
