We were off to our regular Friday fishing trip but got a late start because I had to see the Doc for my checkup so we didn&#39;t get started &#39;till noon. We ran into DragFish at the boat dock with a broken motor so we gave him a hand getting his boat back on the trailer, emoThumbsup (hope it wasn&#39;t too serious, Ron, emoRolleyes ) It was a little after 12:30 when we started fishing so we didn&#39;t have long to get them, emoTongue Dickey had to be off the water by 5 so we didn&#39;t have our usual 5 or 6 hours to find &#39;em. We caught 2 cats, one about 6 lbs, 1 Smallie about a pound and 43 crappie, emoSmile Almost all the crappie were at least 10 inches but we only kept a mess of 11&#39;s and over. Had some nice, fat fish today. Again the bite was very light and you had to watch the line most of the time. I lost one really nice one, probably 12-13 inches right at the boat, emoAngry Again the lure of the day was mostly BG Crystal Shad and the count was around a 6 most of the time although some were caught at a 12 count, emoSmile in 20&#43; FOW. Water temp was 78*-81* and remained cloudy all day to make for some really comfortable fishing all day, air temp was in the hi 70&#39;s, emoSmile We enjoyed the half day and also ran into another CFF&#39;er who was bass fishing, emoThumbsup <br />Thanks for the ride DK, emoThumbsup
