I had a craving for some fresh crappie... and to go fishing with my daughter, Priscilla. Got to do both today.<br /><br />Started fishing about 7:15. It was not fast or furious... but we just kept nickel &amp; diming them. Two here, three there and four over there.... some on bluffs, some on docks.<br /><br />Tried a couple other colors, but I think every crappie was caught on a blue/pearl assassin. But I was rubbing on a little garlic &quot;smell-me-good.&quot;<br /><br />Most amazing to me... almost every fish was quality! By 11:30 we&#39;d caught 25... a half-dozen throwbacks, but we brought home 19. <br /><br />Seventeen of them were 12-inches-plus... a few of those 14-inches-plus... and all fat as butterballs. Got home, cleaned &#39;em and threw some straight into the frying pan. That means life is good and gettin&#39; better every day.<br />
