<br /> Finally got Mom out again before winter sets in. We got to the ramp just before 9AM and the parking lot was FULL?????? Some kink of tourny going out of the Riverpark today and they had already blasted off which 
me as the fog was so bad you could barely see the bank you were casting too. Worst fog I have ever seen down there. No clue how they blasted off but they did.<br /> Anyway, our first stop produced two spots, a 10 lb drum and I hooked, reeled 1/2 way to the boat and lost 5 more fish. emoBang Drove me crazy as a coule of them felt like good bass. All of these were on pig n jigs. We fished on downriver in the fog until we could see downtown which was close to 11. <br /> Our 2nd stop was the mother load spot I fould on Sunday. The fish were still there, just not in the huge numbers from Sunday. We used crappie jigs and caught one fish after another and I picked up a couple of spots and a blue cat on a pig n jig there. When to my 2nd mother load spot and we killed crappie there. Boated 19 but no keepers. Still fun on ultra light. Went back to mother load spot 1 and boated a few more. Wish I had the crappie jigs last Sunday as they really made it easy to catch these fish.<br /> Hit one last bank before calling it a day and I got our best fish of the day, a 3 lb smallie on a drop shot Gulp minnow. Also got a channel cat and small smallie here.<br /> So totals for today<br /> 14 spots<br /> 19 crappie<br /> 2 smallie<br /> 15 redbreast<br /> 10 bluegill<br /> 1 blue<br /> 1 channel<br /> 1 drum<br /> 63 fish boated with 8 different species in just over 4 hours. I will take that any day. Brought home a livewell full of spots, bluegill and redbreasts for mom. Water temp was 57-58. <br /> Had fun with mom as usual.
