This report picks up when we left the G... Ran up to the chick and got in the water around 6:30 to catch an evening bite. We had been in touch with Mark and he came out to meet up with us and do some fishing. I jumped in his boat and we fished a couple sloughs outside of Wolftever and picked up a few bass, two nice crappie, and a couple yellow bass on traps in water 2-4 feet, being near stumps seemed to really help the bite. John and David picked up a few nice bass including a meanmouth? on some secondary points near deeper water on traps. It was great to finally meet Mark and Freida and even better to get to fish with him. <br /><br />4/1 - We got on the water around 11 and fished till 3 and picked up about 15 bass (bucks) in 1-4 fow on traps. best being 2.2 lbs. I picked up 4 very nice crappie on a pointer 65 and David caught 1 more on an xr50 trap... so we decided after our lunch break we were going to target the crappie. Picked up some jigs and a few dozen minners fished a few sloughs and only picked up a couple before 5:30. Moved to another area where we had caught a couple crappie bass fishing and really got into them. We were tipping the jigs (1/16) with the minnows and I would use the trolling motor to troll we just kinda of winged it but ended up having a great evening. We managed 30 keepers with one 1lb 6oz and 6 more going 1lb 4oz. Only caught 8 non-keepers all night. 5-7 fow seemed to be the best for us. It took a while to figure everything out but we made it work and had a blast.<br /><br />Thanks to everyone on this board... it really is a wonderful resource for everyone who contributes. Thanks again to everyone who helped us out along the way. <br /><br />I will post pictures as soon as I get home.<br /><br />Thanks.<br />Brett, David, and John
