Crappie And Catfish 16 July

[Flatbottom Boy]

I took my 5 year old daughter out to the crappie dock today. We found plenty of crappied without much effort and a few catfish were willing to play also. Crappies were tight to cover early in 20 FOW, suspended over the cover as the morning moved on. The catfish were hitting cut bluegill pretty good. I became a fan of the circle hooks today, having my daughter out there I didn't have time to just sit and stare at the rods all morning so I put on some circles, casted my bait out and left them there. I caught four that just hooked themselves and were waiting for me to real them in, kinda nice. It was a blast and much needed one on one time with my oldest.

Nice catch...looks like a few blues. How deep of water?

She looks pretty happy! Cheers.

The catfish were on the bottom in 30 fow. I tried to suspend some bait at 20ft in the same water for some blues but no luck. I think we will try the late afternoon-nite bite next time to see how much of a difference that is.
