Left the house about 5:30 this AM and headed to the Riverpark for some boat ramp fun. Wet my line a little before 6:00 and was getting hits right away from the crappie. The water is so high and the current is making lots of action with crashing water along the banks. <br />Used a 3&quot; pearl curl-tail grub on a 1/16 jighead. It was the magic combo. <br />VERY slow, steady retrieve, as slow as I could crank.<br />The backcurrent would bring my lure right into some brush that is usually above water. Almost every cast *bam* hits and a few misses for the first hour. <br /><br />I hooked up on something a little bigger and think it might be a Walleye? I took some pics but the sun wasn&#39;t up yet so it&#39;s dark. The fish is splotchy with a mottled dorsal fin and was nice and fat. I didn&#39;t know what the restrictions are so I didn&#39;t even measure him and let him go, but he looked tasty.<br /><br />Overall I caught about 30 crappie, 3 or 4 white bass, a small spot, some yellow stripes, and the walleye(?)<br />Kept the 4 keeper crappie and 2 good sized white bass.<br />Went home about 8am<br /><br />
