Well Dad and I ventured out on our first long lining trip this morning. To say I was pumped would be an understatement. Fished from 8-1, caught 30 crappie and kept 21, also had 3 nice channel cats. Water temp at 82 in the morning and saw it at 84 at noon. Trolled over submerged timber at about 8-10 ft down. Trolling Kalin's in the popular colors at .9-1.1 mph. Very nice day to be on the water. Water lice came out and wind got up to about 15 mph at noon. It's about to get crazy good when the water temp. drops a little more.

PS Tony Allen your A&R Lite-Wire jigs were the bomb! They saved me alot of break offs today. Thanks a million.
