Great day today. The really cooll thing was ,we had 5 doubles today

man those are some killer numbers i think we saw you out by the light pole around noon , we were in my freinds blue and white starcraft .It would come and go in spurts for us to. never made it to freeway bay though. had some slow times but for the most part the action was steady to frantic. we left around 1:00 pm.

that was a big crappie . don't really know what it weighed but it was bigger than my hand. they were full of eggs I won't keep any more until their spawn is over.

Good for you Rich, sounds like you did almost as good as we did. We were fishing the same area and saw that boat several times. It was a good day on the water for sure. What time did you start catching fish?
