Say Hello to Norm Swalgreen if he is around. He is the owner and a golf buddy of mine. Might run into Eatmorecrappie(Mark) over the weekend. He fishes out of there too.

So, yesterday morning I made a last minute decision to see what was happening. I loaded the bass gear and baitcasters and was off to the lake in the cover of darkness. I was afloat and idling to my first stop by 6:30 AM and things started off a little slow. I stayed put at stop #1 and finally a little action started to show. It wasn't long before the first fish of the morning blew the top off my spook and it only got better from there. Nearly ever stop I made had fish blowing bait out of the water and they were more than willing to take my offerings.

I quit at 10 AM with fish still biting. Final tally was 20 bass boated and 5 solid fish taking the ride home. It was one of the better bass fishing trips I've had in a long while. Took a minute to knock the rust off but by the end of the trip I was back in the swing and I'm ready to try them again!

A few pictures of the catch:

Will do! Going to be beautiful weather this weekend for sure. Hoping i can get on some fish. Its been since easter weekend last time i was down. And havent fished crappie since mid march.

Which area of the lake were you fishing? Mid lake by chance?

I have been fishing mid lake KHNC. They are on points chasing bait early in the mornings. I've caught them on points close to the main lake and all the way in the back of creeks. No rhyme or reason but they are biting well
