got on the water around 7am surface temp low 70&#39;s air temp 65 at grasshopper creek. everything looked good for a great day of crappie catching, the weather was good and even the sonular tables had a peak in the excellent range around 9am. <br /><br />the crappie apparently didnt read the sonular tables today emoBang all we put in the boat were 2 shorties . we fished shallow,we fished deep, we fished main lake and back water docks, we fished bluffs and bridges <br />we used every color of BG shad i have in the box (10) tail light and no tail light . we used ringer stingers, tube jigs , crawly looking things and flying looking things (bottom of the box somewhere) 1/32 and 1/16 jigs .<br /><br />the highlight of the day was meeting Hal and talking to him for a bit before heading off to try a few more spots. <br /><br />Hal do you think my boy might be a little on the puny side for a 12yo? <br /><br />oh i did have one drumking moment were i thought the day might be turning around. while retying another rod i had set mine down with the lure about an inch out of the water and a 8&quot; spot tried to take my rod away <br /> emoEek <br /><br />still it was a beautiful day to be on the water not even a single drop of sweat, no bugs , and not to cold .... perfect day .. well except for the catching part <br />
