Went wading again to check a stumpy slough I found some lonesome females in earlier in the week,well long story short the girls are'nt so alone anymore and the spawn is officially now in gear. Only caught three keepers in the stumps and saw alot of shallow activity in the starlight across the slough right against the shoreline in the football size rocks, made my way around for an ambush and put on a red thunder with vivid ruby eyes...fished in ONEfow 8inches deep under a lighted floater and things got wet and wild in a hurry! Didnt keep up with totals but I was releasing the females as the girlies had their hair all curled up and lipstick on and ready to go to their Senior Prom... the Males were now most impressive with their tuxedos on and their testosterone at boiling point so I strung up a mess of em for Grandmommy's famous cast iron skillet...was a spendid peaceful evening with Mother Nature, no car horns blowing or sirens squalling, only a huge beaver that swam over to sniff my stringer of BLACK CRAPPIE!!!
