glockjr and i put in around 7am at grasshopper creek hoping that the cool front hadnt locked the crappie down. <br /><br />well it did emoBang <br /><br />tried a few places we hadnt fished before up from grasshopper. a couple of docks in a creek with about 10 fow to start<br />the day. we did manage a few from those including another 12-1/2 hall of famer for william emoThumbsup emoBig
but it was very slow. went on to hit a dock and some vertical structure thats ALLWAYS good to us but <br />not this day emoBang <br /><br />went down towards eldridge and hit a few docks with nothing to show and even went in to eldridge and managed 1 13&#43; from a brush pile in there. <br /><br />headed over to possum creek to check that out and we got a few more from some vertical structure in there <br />to make the count 15 total with 9 good keepers 11-13&quot; . tried all kinds of colors and such but the only thing we caught<br />fish on was BG shads that were black/chart or blue/chart. most of the fish that were caught seemed to be suspended in the middle of the depth range. in 10fow they were 5 in 25-30 fow they were 15. i did mark a nice school of em round 10ft deep at the possum creek bridge but they didnt want anything we threw at them.<br /><br />tossed the 9 we had in the livewell back in to fight another day and pulled the boat out around 2pm <br /><br />even without the great catching we had been getting used to it was still a great day to be out on the water with <br />my oldest boy emoAngler <br /><br />water temps ranged from 75-79 today <br /><br />ill get the pics posted as soon as i can <br /><br />
