Things are getting better

Put in at RB, went up to sons creek targeting crappie.  Tried minnows and Bobby garlands with a few bites and small crappie.  As just a thought put on power bait minnows in black shad color and the bite picked way up.  Ended up catching about 25 and 14 keepers.  Missed also about same amount .  Caught them in 13   To 22 foot of water but you had to fish right next to the standing dead trees or stobbs as close as you could.  More than about 6 inches from it and no bites.  Bite was very soft , but the power minnows was the ticket today.  Water temp was about 78, water clear.  Guess the black minnows matched all the shad in the area.  Did not slay them but had a great day on the lake. Looking forward to better days ahead.  Hope others had a good day!

I am glad that someone is starting to catch more of them.  I am only catching 1-3 keepers per trip for my last 5-6 trips.  I took a few days off and am persistent and we finally had a nice fish fry last night.

Sounds like some good eating!  Glad you got to enjoy your catch
