Went north of son's creek today. Found a spot in the back of a cove with some crappie and bass. You had to catch all the 8" bass out of it before you could catch the crappie, then a little while later the bass would be back. Was kinda entertaining. It sounds crazy, but the water was less than 6' deep. Out of the 20 or 30 crappie, we only kept 4. Most were 1/4" short and some were just a hair short, but better safe than sorry. Pulled a 10" shad out of there too (pictured below). Anybody know what kind it is? Also, had one nice 3 and a half pound largemouth on a hula grub in about 7' of water on a pea gravel bank, but the guy that I was with had crappie on the brain and didn't want to chase the bass. I have a feeling this spot will get screwed up with the weather on the way. Here's a couple pics from the day.

Since sunday, I have caught 7 or 8 3lb+ largemouth pitching and dragging a hula grub & 2 swimming the grub pictured with the shad. I can't really get them patterned out. Some have been on pea gravel banks with no cover around and some have been holding tight to stumps. Best color has been watermelon, but also pbj or rootbeer. Threw my arm off with a husky jerk, rogue, and pointer.....nothing. Threw a wart a little bit with no takers. Haven't seen any whites or walleyes either.
