At first it did not look so good Got stop There in walnut grove. Doing 35 in there 25. Got a ticket for that, and for not having a tag on my boat trailer AND.........>>>>>>>>> not having the right tag on my truck........ uuuuuu got to be kidding ME. He was nice about it, and he was doing his job. So Im not mad. Just wished he would have let me go on 1 or a few of them. LOL don't we all. But My wife got Her first ever keeper crappie. It was 11. I had 4 shorts crappie and 1 big 6lb cat. My wife had a 3lb cat too. Had a lot of bites and a lot of misss. Over all it was a great night. but for all the tickets we got. Was fishing live minnows. Crappie was right at the back or with in 5ft of water. Not sure what the water temp was but it was warmer than the air temp was. Cats was right at the the bluffs. We put in at 5 and fished till all most dark. But the bad thing was I was starting to fig the crappie out then it started to get dark. I got my last 3 with in 25 mins be for we headed to the ramp. Now I just need some one to tell me how to cook this crappie. Any help would be great. I have never cooked any fish be for. I have some crappie, white bass. Thanks Justin
