Cape Fair/ Flat Creek area

Water temp 63-65

Started off throwing some cranks and had a couple short fish. Ended up catching about 25 with 7 solid keepers. Most of the fish were caught on top water. All the Keepers were on Top water. Lots of fun watching them explode.  Probably had close to 15 lbs. We decided last minute to not enter the Wed tourney. 

crappie fished for about 30 min on a brush pile and caught 6 nice ones and one 14.25 inch.   I left the crappie biting which was hard. My buddy i was with isnt much of a crappie fisher.

 

sorry for the sideways pics.  Better than no pics at all

Nice report. Thanks for the information. That WP must have done the trick.

I got out from 12-2 in that area as well. Had 11 with 3 keepers. It was a very fun two hours. They were slamming a spinnerbait good, threw a popping frog and caught a couple and skipping a jig behind docks produced some too. 

I used to never have confidence in a spinnerbait but I've been forcing myself to throw it and have had decent results so far. Thanks to Champ and others throwing all the tips on fishing them here lately.
