David and I got a late start today, we hit the water at 2:30. We tried some deep water spots<br />to look for big fish. Started on some brush piles in 14 fow, we caught small fish, NEXT! Tried a <br />drop from 10 foot to 20 foot. I caught one good fish, side finder showed few fish. It was right.<br />Then we put the side scan to work in open water near deep water. We have never fished this area<br />before.I found a brush pile in 10 foot of water, with a drop off close at 15 fow. Had fish all over it.<br />Kept scanning the area, found another spot close, with wooden structure. Marked both, backed off,<br />we both were throwing 1/16 oz. jigs, with Outlaw Special bodies. On my third cast, I touch the brush<br />with my jig, then get pounded. This fish runs me all around the boat. A 15 1/4 in., 2.1 lb. white crappie,<br />tarp #4 of year. I&#39;m getting the feeling we have found something. Next cast, touch the brush, get crushed.<br />Another 15 incher, 1 lb.15 0z., tarp #5. We both are catching crappie, all whites. I get another one, this<br />one at 14 1/4, tarp #6. David, the best jig fisherman I&#39;ve ever fished with, has had enough of my show-<br />boating. He goes back to back, 2.1 lb., 14 7/8. and a 2.3 lb. 15 inch, to shut me up. I think a three pounder,<br />could come from here in the future. Again, all white crappie, we are loving it. We didn&#39;t have time to throw on the<br />other marker, I think we caught around 25 - 30 keepers on the day. 5 tarps, 3 at 15 inch or better. I had a great<br />time fishing with the girls the other day, but sometimes you got to leave em at home and do work. I think<br />these monster white crappie are more than Candi can handle anyway. I pray she doesn&#39;t read this, I think I<br />was kidding. Yeah, I&#39;m sure I was kidding.
