I took the day off in the middle of a foggy morning to sneak some patented Ernest Paty condos in the water. Walking the plank made it simple. Then about 8:30 when we were through we went fishing. Fish bite better during the week. We have a fish fry for one of my sons birthday this weekend and we kept a few to fry. My wife kept a 10" one cause he bled like a stuck hog. Most are 11-12". A few are bigger. We kept 26. My wife lost the mother of all crappie at the side of the boat. Biggest crappie I ever saw up close. I lost a couple of good ones too at the top of the water. I tied on a secret color I got from Thumpit Jigs this morning and caught 20 something fish and was taking the hook out of a 12"er and the hook just broke. I guess I wore it out. We finally found a pattern. 15 feet down on the new bridge. They were hitting it best when you slowly raised your rod tip on the backside of the columns from the current. They would swim up to get it and you would see slack. We started on the first column and worked our way out 10 more sets of columns. Left them biting cause I had a little work to do. Catching fish is easy during the week.

And to answer the question: work was rough today, no work until 3pm and now we have 7 days worth on the schedule and couldnt get a single machine to run right and its all "due" on friday even though its 7 days worth!!!

Very nice layout of Crappie you have there. Oh no... now you know that the Crappie are hungry while most folks are at work. That's supposed to be a well kept secret that only us retired folks share.

Nice catch! No work, but school was full of college reps and college info. Talk about overwhelming.

My phone must be broken because I didn't hear it ring.  Very nice catch. I sank 2 condos on RR this afternoon after work. Didn't have time to fish. CW

You know I was gonna call you Stucky and Chris but my wife watched the weather and decided she could tough it out. Not a ripple on the water. Let it be 10 degrees cooler and she will be done. She usually wears me out. Today she only caught 4 keepers. She was plenty ticked at me when I was retying once. The current and light breeze moved us away from the column. She let me have it and said I better get her back over to that column before I was retied.  She was a little upset and I was rubbin it in like she does when she is spanking me. Today was my day. She tried every color except what I was using. Hard headed thing.
