Oh yeah digit!! Found them shallow

As Macho Man Randy Savage use to say! 

Went back up river yesterday.  Spider rigging the area that I've had good success in the past several weeks.  

And of course right out the gate I hooked up to something with some shoulders.  Can't confirm if it was but, it pulled like a striper until it straighten my thin wire hook.

I pushed minnows around for a couple hours.  I missed more bites than I caught.  End up with 4 crappie, 5 whites that way.  

Broke down early to go try fishing shallow brush for about 40 minutes and that made my day.  

Found one thick lay down.  I had my boat in 10 fow and dipped down in about 5 fow.  Pulled out 4 black crappie back to back.

 It suck to leave that.  I wait all year to catch them that way.  But dad duties call and it's still early.  

Water temp in the creeks I was in where 56-57.  Water color.... Well
I could kind of make out the foot of my motor.  

I like this color right now.  You can sneak up on them.  

Here's one quick pic.  God bless and have a great weekend out there.

I am going to have to start using crappie minnows for striper bait, you hook more striper than anyone.....Good looking slab, they should be bunched together getting staged for the spawn about now. Glad to hear there are still striper in the river, I was afraid they had made their run North.
