Trip Report

[straw hat]

The wife and I took the boat out on the Big Sac arm. We started by fishing for crappie on brush piles 5 to 20' deep. After 4 hours and only a few small crappie we swithed to fishing chunk rock banks. Over the next 6 hour we caught about 50 crappie, 12 keepers and 4 catfish. The crappie were 7 to 20' deep with the keepers mostly 15 to 20 ft deep in about 20' of water. I was supprised by the number of boats. There were more boats out than on Memorial weekend! When I drove over the CC bridge on the way home I saw one guy come off the rock rip rap with 4 nice cats (2 to 5 lbs +/-). Of the four cats we caught two were females and both had spawned.
