1 foot deep to 6 foot deep

I have been somewhat landlocked these days . some of it is motivation and some of it is lack of time and some is just why bother if I can ketch them from the bank . so I hit local spots at lunch break and sometimes even an hour at 5 pm when I get off work ,mind ya it gets dark so quick that the 5 pm thing is about an hour and lunch break is the same drill .
the west fork of the trinity river around downtown ft worth is pretty close in one spot and literally a hundred yards away in yet another spot .
Monday at lunch break I found a bunch of small black crappie in about 3 foot of water and the ticket was to have the jig 12 inches under the float . I started at that spot at about 18 inches under my float and managed a few and then realized that a lot of them took the jig before the float even got to stand up .
Tuesday after work I met up with a bud down behind my job at a spot that has deeper water . We managed to really hurt there lips about 6 foot deep under floats there in about 8 or 9 feet of water . That spot has a feeding frenzy of multiple species that takes place about 30 minutes before all light in the sky is gone .
Small feather jigs seem to be the ticket at both spots and to be sure the fish are biting in several different ways . Some at playful , some are demure and some are flat out serious as well .
the water temperature I imagine is around the low 50 degree range and the fish feel like they have been in the refrigerator all night when you handle them .those that follow my threads might want to know I did in fact get a new rod and a new reel and I put some 4 lb clear mono on that rig and about 30 minutes after that I did my best to get my new rod and reel tore up .....
sure was fun at both spots and I might get to try one or both this week again if I am so lucky , but until then I got a few photos and a memory of the adventures to share with yawl ....
have a great day and hope you enjoy the photos and read ....
