Judie wanted to go on the lake this Sunday morning, holiday weekend or not. I said if we go it has to be early. We pulled away from CFP dock at 6:00 am. First crappie was in the boat at 6:15, (Lost some time getting her set up, lol.<br /><br /> We had a 5 fish rule per stop so we did some running and looking this morning. We caught a mess of crappie, some whites, and a couple decent LM. All caught on BG shad in various colors, all 1/16th jigs. We fished some docks, brush, a bluff, and managed to get our 5 fish at most stops. Judie was a little rusty dock shooting, but soon got it going. Started to get busy about 9:30 and by 10:30 it was time to head for the house. Had fun early and saw some new young Ospreys on the nest.<br /><br /> Forgot to add the entertainment at the ramp when we came in. Guy had his boat floating off the trailer and motor won&#39;t start, sideways on the ramp, not familiar with trolling motor, so gets out a paddle to try and get to the dock, next time I look a seat has been kicked in the water and is floating away, and the beat goes on, lol. Oh yeah, saw a couple out in middle of dallas bay with a little inflatable like you use drifing for trout on the rivers. has a trolling motor on the back, and she is going around in circles with boats everywhere, no life jackets, hope someone is watching out for those poor folks. Lots of fun just sitting in the parking lot and watching the antics at the ramp.<br /><br />Regards, Labman
