Got to the Point last Wednesday, March 11th. Only 3 fish by 1pm. Water temp 48..my buddy, Doc, who is already in the 3lb club caught a 3lber -2nd fish of the day. To make matters worse, he also caught a 9lb 6 oz bass. I'm thinking, where is mine. But the next day water temps were up to 50- lol. I finally caught my Walter - a 3lb crappie and..... i also landed a 9lb 13oz bass. Man the trip was done! I can go home now..nottttt.. But Doc had to. So, i stayed and fished on and on. Finally the water temps reached 64. This must get them going .notttt. The bite is still slow..but when ya got a bite, the fish were really big! After the good Doc left for home, I landed a 3.04. -my second Walter. Then on my final slow day (March 17) I landed a 3.26 white crappie.(4th in the state). Long story short, ended up the best week of crappie fishing Doc & I have ever had. Landed 4 fish 3 lbs or better, 2 fish 2lbs 15oz and a 2lb 14 oz., 30 fish over 2lbs., and the bite was as slow as I've ever seen. One day, we didn't get a bite until 2pm. Patience, patience, patience......plus a little prayer, and a positive attitude sure helps. A 3lb crappie WAS on my bucket list, but i might need a bigger bucket..lol

Good times right there we left 3-16-15 and had caught 25 fish 2#'s or better with one 3# and one 2#14oz being the biggest but a lot of 2#7oz to 2#9oz fish some being males. Sloooowww is the word I saw some of the best perch jerkers I know struggle to get bites so I felt pretty good with our results all in all. Bob I still say your the best spider rig fisherman I've ever seen and there were plenty on the water this weekend. I talked with many locals while fishing their back yards and they agree with me your the man.
