Had an awesome opportunity to fish with my son this morning...whom was the fishing champion of the day. My son caught a 14" black beauty on a laydown using BG bleeding shad on a 1/24oz jig.

Water temp was 54/55 degrees. Current was slightly more than I would prefer but was certainly manageable. Water was stained from the recent rains. It was a crystal clear beautiful day.

Wasn't a numbers day, it was a father-son quality time day. We caught a 12" white crappie, about a dozen 8-10" fish, and a handful of definitely short crappie. We did get a few bluegill. None brought home today.

There was no pattern for the few fish. All were caught on BG baits I do not normally use...bleeding shad, devils grin, etc. A few honored us with taking blue thunder and blue ice. Nothing on Monkey milk, glacier, or crystal today.

Sorry, pic would not load today from the computer:-( But Max did have the opportunity to see my sons big one.

Good to see you today Max!
