You should have pretty nice weather I'm thinking

chocolate milk right now under the 54 bridge.

Heading down to Pomme Saturday morning early....any suggestions on catching a few crappie?

First time out on Pomme in years. Managed to find a mess of them 8" crappie:) Girlfriend caught a nice 12 1/2" and that was it. Between swimming to keep cool, we didn't really put too much effort into fishing. I did manage to put a 4x6" hole in the bottom of my Nitro!!! Luckily it didn't go all the way through the hull. I reckon I can patch it up enough to get the job done. If my memory serves me right, there's a log in the water in a bend right below Lightfoot campground....well, I remembered it about the same time I hit it:)

Does anybody know the story on the top two fish? I was just wondering if they were weighed in on the same scale. 1 one-hundredth of a pound seems pretty dang close to me.

Seth, your exactly right....no need to be like that....bad sportsmanship if you ask me!!

OK, I wasn't going to chime in on this but after what I seen last night I'm kinda pissed!!! I'm a dock owner and I have no problem with folks fishing around the dock, heck I even tell them where the beds are. But last night when I got home from work I watched my 85 year old neighbor fishing off her dock as normal. She was catching a few crappie. Now understand, they've lived there for over 30 years and this is her favorite thing in the world for her to do. A bass boat was coming into the cove just as she caught a crappie. By the time I got down to the dock to ask her how the fish were biting the bass boat with three guys in it pulled up right in front of her!!! She could have stepped off her dock and on their boat they were so close. This prevented her from fishing off the side of the dock that she normally does. She wasn't happy about it but she said nothing to them and just moved to fish off the other side. My thoughts: As a common courtesy a fisherman should respect other fisherman and not crowd in on somebody like that. If I'm out in the boat fishing, I don't get within a 100 yards of another boat, it's a big lake. If somebody is fishing off their dock I don't pull up and fish it...there's plenty docks on the lake to fish. Probably the most upsetting part of this whole story was two of the guys in the boat were in their sixties and the other was over 40. They should know better. Sorry for the long post but I just had to vent a little on this one:)

It's a Blue Cat

I was using a 1/16 tube jig tipped with crappie nibble. Casting to the front of the well and letting it sink to the bottom. Don't do a lot of reeling, just bring your rod tip up and feel it bouncing on the brush. 4-6 lb test and a real sensitive rod. If you think your bring it in slow, slow down even more....they are just hitting it as soft as can be.

I went out last night for about an hour and managed to catch 6 biguns. They were on the bottom in about 28 foot of water in a boat slip. Turned loose, didn't feel like cleaning 6 fish. Was nice to get out though.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing over brush piles with crappie nibble for the last few weekends. Haven't caught more then 6 and that was my best day. The ones I did catch were pretty shallow 5-7 foot down in 12' of water. The pressure is going down Sunday, I might switch it up and try to catch a few cold water catfish:) I've been seeing a lot of big shad up by the banks when the sun is out.

Anybody catching any crappie on the lake these days?

Well, I just bought a bass boat this past month and I'm really looking forward to the upcoming Big Bass Bash. I've been watching guys fish it from off my dock and now I will be able to join them. All that said, I've been out of bass fishing for the last 10 or so years. I'm way behind on all the lingo and baits guys are using today. Bob, is there anyway I can get that promo code and join your site? I got the free membership but I'm thinking if I want to get serious about bass fishing I'll need all the help I can get.

Did anybody ever hear how many boat were entered?

All right, now I know. I'm gonna have to look up some youtube videos and see what the differences are. Thanks for the info fellers.
