started out of grasshopper creek around 7:30 and headed across to sale creek where we picked up 8 of our keepers, one being just shy of a tarp , in 28 fow on a 15 count with a 1/32 oz jig . color of choice today was a pan assassin smoke shad <br />followed closely by the BG electric chicken. the bite was VERY subtle most of the time you never felt a thing just pick up the slack and a fish would be there.<br /> picked up quite a few throwbacks there too but the bite died down around 10am did a little exploring in sale creek trolling a little crankbait behind us and picked up 2 small LM <br />4 bluegill and a nice white bass. didnt get a single crappie trolling emoScratch . <br /><br />went out to the main lake and hit a few docks between sale creek and soddy creek with only shorts (30-40) to show for the effort and a big gouge in the gunwale of my bullet from a metal piece of a dock and a wave i didnt see emoDoh emoDoh emoDoh emoHoppingmad emoDoh emoDoh emoDoh <br /><br />i was ready to go put the boat on the trailer by 12pm ( still emoHoppingmad ) but we decided to hit one more dock that had been good to us the past couple of trips. <br /><br />we chose wisely ..... although we pulled lots of shorts of of it (and had a blast doing it ) we also pulled in a double with keepers emoBig with williams being a HOF worthy 12-1/2 inches emoParty <br />that makes 3 trips in a row that william has had HOF crappie in the boat emoParty <br /><br />i felt a little better after that and it was time to go anyway so we headed home around 2pm <br /><br />oh water temp was mid 80's with not a lot of flow .<br /><br />10 keeper crappie and 60 or so shorts is a pretty good day for us emoBig
