Fished Monday caught lots of crappie 6-8 inch range witha few 10-12 inch. I think we ended up with 5 keepers. Caught lots of small male whites and ended up with 3 good females. Some were all caught in 15' to 16' of water, but several crappie were a foot off the bank. We caught some on minnows but the majority was on red and white 2" tube jigs. We went back yesterday and wound up with 5 keeper crappie and 2 keeper whites and just like Monday caught tons of small fish. It was a little more windy and seemed a tougher fishing. The crappie werent as shallow as the day before. We went back today and had a good day. We caught all of our fish in 15' to 18' of water. A few were caught on minnows, some were caught on red and white tube jigs, but today red and chartruese was the hot color for whites and crappie. We probably ended up with 10 sows and 10 keeper crappie some 12 or 13 inch fish. We haven't hit the mother load yet but I hope its soon. I used to fish Aldrich all the time but moved to Miller so CC is much closer. The water temp was 56 and 57 so maybe its still early. I haven't heard anyone tear'in anything up yet so maybe im not alone. What do you think?

I was wondering if them whites was small males or if the females was in there yet

I would lift up a good friend and co-worker from Mt. Vernon. Marion Garner was involved in a car accident which wasn't to serious. When he was in the hospital getting checked out from the accident they found cancer in his back which now has spread to his lungs and in his bones. The doctors gave him a year with treatments and 6 months without treatments. I ask you think of him when you pass through a Journagan work zone because he was one of our flaggers. I also ask you lift up his family. Thanks and remember were all just on vacation and one day we all gotta go home. I hope you all know were home is.

I haven't been but my father-in-law said the banks were lined down at CC. I guess the only thing they caught was really small males. I betcha they just are starting and that cold front pushed back to deep water. If are weather guessers are right and temps hold true next week oughta be some good fishin'.

Just thought I would poke my head in and say Hi. What a great site, I just happened by it accidently, but i betcha i tell everybody i know who has a computer!
