Caught a quick limit Sunday afternoon sitting in 1 spot. 17 fow, fishing 6-8’ down. I don’t have much info as to how the lakes been fishing since this was only my 2nd trip in the last few weeks. I also caught this big ‘ol flathead in early July. Easily the biggest fish I’ve ever landed on a Crappie rig. Darn good eating and a lot of fun too.

Awesome! Need to get back out there. Were they hitting jigs or all minnows? I caught the first ~5 on minnows and the rest on jigs. They were hitting so fast and consistent that I switched over to jigs just to get back down there as quick as possible. It was as interesting of a set up as I’ve seen. I was in the last deep water between 2 flats and schools of fish had a bunch of bait pushed up against that wall. They just kept coming in waves from 30 yards away swimming straight at me. All I had to do was get a hook down there.
