Went a little later than usual today.<br />Hit a dock and took the challenge.<br />That water was high and I had a tricky time with a 16.<br />I tried a 32, but the fall must have been too slow and I had to go to a heavier jig.<br /><br />When I got it deep they hit it. I actually had a few thuds today which has been rare for me lately.<br />Outlaw and ghastly and blue ice were my good colors today.<br />They were between 10 and 15 and water temp was 87.8.<br />No TBs all big ones.<br /><br />Finally looked at WT creek and there was a feller there that was bank fishing.<br />He was knocking them out and I was on a hole or two that was good.<br />Caught a TARP at 14.5&quot;and lost one bigger.<br /><br />Got closer to the bank guy and recognized him as a Prince of crappie royalty so I added a little room to the backseat for him.<br />After that I caught one and missed more than I have ever missed for a long time, but my new backseater was tearing them up!<br /><br />Turns out we have mutual friends and I was happy to fish with Dave.<br />Caught 20 big fish today and Dave helped me up my total for 7 more!<br />Good day and I hope to get in some more fishing with a great crappie catcher in the future.<br /><br />Got some pics from 4th and today<br />Thanks for reading<br /><br /> emoCool
