I made short fishing trips Friday and today. It wasn't a dynamite bite for me on either day, but I caught some solid fish. On Friday, I got 12 keepers in three hours. And today, on the opposite end of the lake, I caught 11 keepers in three and a half hours.

I caught Friday's fish 12 to 14 feet deep, in 14 to 19 feet of water, on concrete and drop offs. Today's fish were 11 to 13 feet deep on a drop off. All were caught on my indigo/chartreuse shad. They bit a 1/8 oz jig best, but I also caught some on a 1/24 oz jig. Water temps ranged from 55 to 58 degrees. All of Friday's fish were released. I kept four for dinner today.

Friday's best fish was a black crappie.


Today's was this white crappie beauty.


I did try shallow for a little while, but this black bass and a two pound white bass were the only two fish I caught on jig and bobber.


A plate of fresh crappie on a tv tray in front of a Mavericks game. That works.

Good job. It's almost time for it to get good.

Awesome post!

Good job Bud we ended up towing that guy in who spent hours trying to get it started! We caught a few more after you left.

Nice work Bud
We both want to get back down to CC this summer if possible

Glad you got them to bite for you! I would have liked to stay out another hour myself, but the fresh-caught-fish-for-dinner plan was only going to work if I bailed out early, so I obliged.

Nice Plate Bud B!
