After a couple of cups of coffee this morning I just couldn't stand it. I loaded up and hit the Bell City Drain Ditch around noon. I met a man fishing from Sweet Lake that asked if I was that guy from Crappie Dot Com.....lol. We talked for a while and he had around 30 in his ice chest. He caught them along the weeds and lilies with a blue and white tube jig with sparkles. He said the bite was good early. He told me he is a lurker on the site. I tried to talk him into joining. I guess we will have to wait and see. I managed to scrape 16. I even caught that little 4 inch crappie again in the same spot. If I catch him again I will name him Trey..... I caught fishing shiners and blue/white triple tails 2 ft deep in 6 to 8 fow off grass beds, lilies and brush piles. The fish were scattered I would pick up one here and on there. I had to let them take it for a few seconds and set the hook keeping the rod tip low to the surface of the water. If not I would lose them. When I got back to the launch I got a surprise when I went to dump my trash. I also included a picture of the tree we saw snap yesterday. All in all it was a great day on the water.
