Give or take 3 weeks ago i was fortunate  enough to catch a largemouth , spotted bass, catfish , drum . All on the same orange and black beetle spin with out the spinner. I waded  a couple different spots around eureka and wildwood. i fished outside bends, eddies ,  rip rap banks. the cat was along a downed log in an eddy with a rip rap bank  , thought it was smallie. the large mouth was smaller and i was surrounded by water i felt no need to take my phone out.  

more recent report  Got out with a buddy today below the 44 bridge water looked really nice i expected a touch murkier  , he caught a drum and small spot in an eddie on a crank and i managed a  pretty smallie 13 or14 inches it gave a wonderful jump and head shake action acting  as if he was a bruiser, really healthy fish sitting right in the creek mouth , caught on a luminescent mister twister plastic on a green jig head, in a couple years i like to think that fish will gets someones heart racing real good. went to another spot and cruising the bank i could smell dead fish later found someone had a killer outing  on some nice spots 10 or 11 filleted then scavenged carcasses some really good sized too.      

Thoughts on Crappie on this section of the mac?  as ive seen 2 separate fishermen on different days catch decent size crappie in a spot where i have never caught or seen one caught in around 5 or 6 years of frequenting that spot.

River crappie are frustrating (for me anyhow) to say the least.  We catch enough of them every winter to carry extra rods, spend an extra $100 dollars on crappie "stuff", and waste an hour or two of each trip trying to catch the goofy critters.  But in reality, out of a dozen or so trips taken each fall/winter/early spring, only a couple are truly fruitful in that we're bringing home enough to clean.  Bottom line IMO; they're there in high enough numbers to justify fishing for them.  But they are extremely fickle most of the time and will really test your patience.
