<br />Decided to play a little russian roulette with these pop up thunder storms we&#39;ve been having in the evenings. I <br /><br />guess I made out ok by only getting slightly wet. One great thing about it is that the boat ramps aren&#39;t loaded and <br /><br />therefore fewer wakes.<br /><br />I&#39;ve been field testing some sufix neon tangerine High Viz line for the past few weeks. Appears to be good stuff. I <br /><br />can see this neon orange much better than the Mr. Crappie line most of the time. Under some conditions though I <br /><br />think the Mr. Crappie line stands out a little better so I have my reels spooled with both colors. <br /><br />Caught some good fish on docks with very few throw backs. 32nd on 8 seems to make the best connection for me <br /><br />in at least 15ft of water. Docks with wooden posts are fairing the best with floating docks being the worst. My best <br /><br />producing dock had a ledge that broke into deep water right up under it. The christmas trees on top of the ledge <br /><br />under the dock didn&#39;t hurt things either. <br /><br />Caught 20&#43; crappie off of docks. Most docks fished held no to just a single fish here and there. The majority of the <br /><br />catch came from just three good docks that were holding fish nowhere near each other.<br /><br /> I got one of those fish counters but find I keep forgetting to use the thing. Sad <br /><br />isn&#39;t it? <br /><br />Oh watch out for those airplanes guys!<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
