It started slowly as we left MCP in the dim light and carefully trying to avoid trees and branches and jetsom in the river.<br />We arrived at #2 and in two casts with a pan fish assassin w/ tail light picked up my 4th TARP of the year and my 3rd at this location.<br /><br />I was very happy and I said we would have a good day. My partner was watching as I caught a few more and then he opened up with a bleeding shad that snagged a 12+ incher and started to fill the live well with quality crappie. About his 3rd or 4th crappie was a mirror of mine and we had YB's TARP in the boat posing for the camera.<br /><br />We caught 50 or 60 crappie on all manner of BG and PAs but also the bass were hitting us so much they became almost a nuisance. A fun nuisance , but we didn't complain.<br />We had a great day with about 30 bass and a ton of line stretching crappie.<br /><br />Temps were from 76 to 78 and we were deep and shallow, but the quality fish were below the little ones.<br />We did have an incident with one particular bass that proved he was very hungry and crazy, but I think I'll let my partner tell you all about that oneemoUSA <br /><br />Love the "system" and good fellowship with my partner YB<br />Here's some pics:<br />
