Got a buddy and his 6 year old out yesterday and we fished around the Decatur area. Did not get a single crappie, but boy did we find some bream! We kept that young kid running between his dad and I as we'd set the hook and let him reel them in. We finally ran out of crickets with 47 good ones in the live well. We hit a couple of cats as well and threw them all back. But the real show was the couple of Alligator Gar we had on. That kid was reeling for everything he was worth on those toothy critters, what a hoot!! Believe the young man had a great day of it even without a crappie in the boat.

Bream were 20' deep. Used a good sized piece of split shot, counted it down to the bottom and just a slow reel. They were usually on the cricket before you had it moved 5'.
