i went fishing last night and for the fist time in awhile i had some good luck, water temp was 54 and i caught about 30 crappie, i kept about a dozen to clean, they were on lay downs close to bank in about 8 foot of water minnow and bobber, size from 9 to 12 inches, i hated to quit because i was having a ball, i think the fall bite is here, let me know what you think.
