FIshing at 6:00. Fish were slow to hit at first then found a dock where I persuaded 6 or 7<br />keepers to hit. Using 1/32 oz. jigs in my usual of late BG Outlaw Special and Ghastly Minnow<br />colors.A 15 count with a sllow retrieve in 15 ft. of water. I knew rain was coming, I just didn&#39;t care.<br />It looked bad with dark clouds but I saw no lightning.I had the rain suit and the fish started to hit<br />better. I got the nose of the boat under a big dock and picked off crappie while letting the bulk of the rain pass.<br />Once it cleared, I kept chasing dock fish most of the day and catching nice crappie. My 50th crappie<br />was my best at 14 3/4 in. My 27th 14in. crappie of the year. Very few boats on the water in the afternoon<br />with slick water. Willow flies were out pretty heavy, covering docks and overhanging trees. I talked to Maddog<br />and his fishing partner( sorry I can&#39;t remember his name ), as I was finishing under WT bridge. I quit at 5:30<br />with 59 keeper crappie. All released.
