Well, The Labman and I planned to do some bass and crappie fishing but just happened to catch some catfish too. emoScratch We started about 6:15 or so.<br />We began by fishing for crappie and watching the surface for some &quot;schooling bass&quot;, we caught some crappie but never was able to find any schoolers today to chunk at. I wanted to learn to dropshot and Labman was kind enough to teach this old dog a new trick, in the process he caught a really nice 3lb plus LM and 1 catfish and I caught 2 catfish and the pics show the big catfish I caught and the big bass Labman caught. They were caught on gulp minnows in 15-25 fow off a point using the drop shot method. We shot some docks too, seems like electric chicken BG Shad and White Ghost BG Shad was the ticket today and fish hit really light and right on the bottom. Water temp 82 when we started and about 87 when we stopped.<br />We stopped about 11:30 when it got hot enough to take the fun out of it. We finished the day with 9 keeper crappie and threw back probably another 9 that were short, 3 catfish and 1 nice LM. It was a great day to be on the water and I learned something new (now if I can remember it) emoGeezer Oh yeah, I even had the pleasure of meeting Judie and 2 of the labs today.<br /><br />Enjoyed the trip today Norman, lets go again soon..............
