South of shell knob 3-5-16

I'm a few days late posting but oh well....

 

Got to the dock around 330 with the wife and kids after 2 limits of trout at roaring river.  Instantly, as our poles hit the water it was on. You could see down about 5 to 10 feet and crappie of all sizes. Me n the Mrs couldn't keep up w our two poles so we took the practice lures off of our 4 yr old daughter and 2 yr old sons pole and fitted them with a slip bobber and a minnow. We told em if the Bobber sinks to reel til it get tight and pull like your trying to take a toy away from each other. They both caught one a piece before deciding the minnows were way easier to catch. Caught tons of smaller crappie and 5 worth taking home but had fun regardless. Around 5 they just shut off. You could still see them thick below the dock but wouldnt give my jig or her minnows the time of day.

Glad I could brighten someone's day. Kids did love it. Keep asking when we are going again. 

 

Bill have "borrowed" a lot of info over the past year from several of your posts. Keep up the good reports and advice!
