Put in at 8:30 at WT, Fished a few main river docks with little to show. I decided to do a long run upriver<br />where I ran into Hal. We chatted for a while, neither had anything to brag about. I started fishing a dock<br />nearby and immediately caught crappie. I caught 13 nice crappie off the one dock. I got 10 more off 2<br />more docks in the area. Saw Hal again, and he was catching crappie too. We both were having luck with<br />BG Ghastly Minnow on a 1/32 oz. jig. I was catching my fish on a 4- 6 count on a slow retrieve in 10-15 ft. <br />of water. Action slowed so I ran downriver fishing more docks, catching crappie here and there. More<br />smaller crappie mixed with a few keepers. I saw alot of post spawn crappie with worn tails and sores from <br />working the beds. I finished with 50 keepers. I kept waiting on a big crappie for a pic. Never caught one.<br />Largest was about 13 in. Released all. Finished in the creek at 5:00, and saw some docks that were destroyed<br />by trees along with fallen trees everywhere in yards.
