I hit 13 on Wednesday to see if I could find some slabs. The water is still very high and swift in the upper sloughs. I had temps just under 68, everywhere I went.

I sure found the crappies, but only 12 made it into the boat, along with a 38" gar. I had many additional crappies on, but I was definitely off my game and kept losing them. My first bite of the day was a monster slab that broke my line as I was hoisting it into the boat. Typically, I don't use a net. I best change that approach.

I got most fish right at the edge of the faster water, next to slack water. I had to upsize to 1/8 ounce jigs, for best results. Every fish was caught on chartreuse tubes tipped with minnows. Of the fish I brought home, eight were at least 12" long. They were really nice fish.

It was a great day, with the exception of my trolling motoring not running right, my livewell pump leaking, and the aero-bait bucket pump not pumping. No pictures, because someone left the camera at home, and it was dark, when I returned.

Hitting it again this weekend.
