<br /> Today Alvin and I decided to chase some crappie. Called up Polo and got a few tips and put the boat in the water at 3 and we were off. <br /> Fished two docks today and caught fish off both of them. Problem was they were mostly 9-9.5" long. We ended up boating 50 crappie but only had 10 keepers and 2 of those were just 10" so we let them go. Typical dock fishing but for crappie rookies like us we had a blast. <br /> While we were fishing the first dock, we heard a loud splash. I turned to see a squirel had fallen out of a tree into the water. It could not make it up the retaining wall so I trolled over and using my paddle, picked him up and put him in dry land. He looked at me funny and ran back up the tree. Your welcome. <br /> Hit one spawning flat and got one keeper crappie. <br /> Gave up on crappie and decided to bass fish for out last 45 minutes. Hit my favorite spawning flat and did not take long to hook up with a nice 4.1 lber. Hardest fighting 4 lber I have ever caught. About 5 minutes later Alvin boats a 2 lber. Both came on 10" worms fished in about 5-6 feet. Threw a XR75 for a few minutes and boated a small drum, that was a first. <br /> Ended the day at 7 with 50 crappie boated, 4 bluegill, 1 warmouth, 2 largemouth and a drum. Water temp was 66-67 depending on where you were. Nice day on the water. Thanks again for the tips Polo.
