I looked out the window and saw FM fishing at a dock close to the house and he asked me to fish with him, I could not refuse. While I got ready to fish he got a few off my brushpile. We fished some areas close by the house and caught fish at all but a couple of places. Most fish were small but still fun. We got to one spot and right off caught a few nice keepers including a 14.5 incher that FM pulled in that weighed 2lbs even. But then for some reason the fish shut off and bass started hitting shad close by. We moved off and caught some fish off a dock or two and came back to the same spot and just kept catching bass, no crappie. We ended up with 5 bass, one that was a beautiful 3.5lber. Late, right before dark we did catch a couple more crappie. Most fish were caught at about a 6 count and all my fish were caught on PAs on 1/32 oz jig heads. FM will have to post about what he was using. He had one big fish that was stripping line against his drag before it pulled off, either it was a state record crappie or another bass, we will never know. Here are a couple of pics. Thanks again for picking me up and taking me fishing Terry, it was a lot of fun!
