Got out to the ramp and launched early. <br />Arrived at our first spot, casting Blue Ghost on a 32 with a tail light. Of course, Susan caught the first crappie but not a keeper, then we started landing larger ones, most keeper size, about 11 or 12, but all released to go back and grow up a bit more. We did get some rain but nothing that was severe enough to drive us off the water and we were prepared with the rain gear today! <br /><br />We had about 20 at this location, with one strange looking fish that Susan caught. We aren&#39;t quite sure what it is, maybe someone can tell us. It was about 12 inches with a fairly small mouth, not like a crappie mouth, more like a bream mouth. It had a very bright yellowish/orange throat and belly and yellow fins on the bottom. It also looked like a crappie on the back end, very strange. <br />We had a boat come up that was fishing for bass then left. We finally decided to leave and try another spot where we caught a few more white crappie. <br /><br /> Left this location and headed to one more spot where we caught about 10 more keeper size with one about 13&quot;, and most were whites, which was unusual for this location we thought. Had a few boats come up to visit with us here for a few minutes before we decided to call it a day.<br />Good to meet up with Korngrinder and Catfish1.<br />At one point we became a crowd, but a very friendly crowd as we had a nice visit.<br /><br /> We ended up with about 35 total for the morning. <br /> It was a great day even with the rain to be out on the water.<br /><br />Here are the pics and if you can tell what the &quot;odd ball&quot; is, let us know.<br /><br /><br /><br /> emoCool
