Ruark---Big Sac Monday

[nxs]

Went up into Sons Creek first and had a nice 11-1/2" black crappie first cast, then nothing. So headed back to Big Sac where we found the wally's last week.

Nothing there but further back in the cove we found the crappie were wanting to come to the bank. We brought 18 home along with a wally.

Caught way more crappie that were 9-1/2" to 9-3/4" than we brought home. Most kept were running 11" and all but 2 were males.

Had 2 other short wally's and of course the inevitable drum.

One really nice smallmouth that flipped the hook right at the boat and a couple of whites.

Little wind but without it was making up to be a miserable hot day.

I understand lots of crappie coming from Aldrich area after dark.

Used jigs and s/m's of course
