[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]Had a chance to get out and about with a buddy of mine. It started off slow but was able to put a pattern on em after an hour or so. They were very ticky in this post frontal, cloudy, very high wind conditions. Started off fishing with different colored jigs tipped with minnows and some double minnow rigs as well. Caught first fish on a white/chartreuce jig tipped with minnow. Caught another fairly soon after on same rod, so I switched another rod over to the white/chart jig. Caught a fish on both of those poles before catching on any other color. So.... Swapped 2 more to white/chart. Noticed now having 4 active poles as im swapping. So changed all poles over to that color, then the action heated up until it was almost unbearable with that many rods out. Ended up running out of minnows so we called it a day and headed home to our gals and a hot meal! Water temp was 73. Suprisingly, Fish were in 3-4fow and wanted the bait dragging across the bottom of all places. If you were going faster than 0.2mph you were going too fast. We would not get a bite. We were creeping along as slow as possible. All were spawned out except for a couple that had dark orange colored dried up looking eggs. Fish were long but not heavy, kinda skinny, that spawn must really be hard on them. Thanks crappie.com and the friends I have met through this site. I learn something every day from you guys![/COLOR]

Great Job to get out there in this high water period and put it on em.
