started out at grasshopper around 7:30 am and headed for sale creek where the action wasnt hot and heavy but very consistent emoSmile wound up with 12 keepers 2 of which were hall of famers for william and twice as many shorts before they slowed down.<br /><br />tried a few other places in sale creek we had not fished before with only a couple of shorts to show for it then started for some main lake docks........ hmmmmm seems the weather channel &quot;light and variable 5mph winds &quot; was way wrong ... emoDoh the wind was coming pretty strong downriver making it to much like work to fish the docks out there emoAngry on the way back to grasshopper i was running 30mph before i felt the wind blowing in my face. <br /><br />i was really hoping to get at least 1 limit between the 2 of us today so we tried a couple of brush pile in grasshopper before we loaded up and picked up 4 more keepers including williams 3rd hof for the day emoParty <br />pulled out at around noon <br />this makes 4 fishing trips in a row that william has had HOF crappie emoParty emoParty <br /><br />only used 2 lures today bg electric chicken and bleeding shad we did change from a 1/32 to a 1/16 when the wind picked up though. count was 15 in the 30fow in sale creek and about 4 in the 15 fow in grasshopper. <br /><br />total for today was 16 keepers between 11 and 13&quot; with 26 shorts <br />we keep having better days almost every time we go here lately .. hopefully it means we are getting better at this crappie thing and not just lucky emoTongue
