Had some friends call saying they would be camping this week. I offered to furnish fish for supper the first night . I searched brush piles and stakebeds with little luck . Ran over the water till I found them scattered in open water suspended above the thermocline . Pitched to them with the new Huckabee Trident 13' three piece jig pole . No problem catching over 100 Crappie using Southern Pro Umbrella tubes as usual purple/chartreuse rigged on 1/8 insert jig heads . Live scoped them one at a time and most suspended 8 to 10' down over deeper water . Kept a mess of 13 to 15'' Crappie and released the rest for another day . Swung by my garden and picked Squash to fry with the fillets . One thing live scope has proved to me is profile and presentation are the keys to getting bit . Color is more to catch fishermen's eyes . I ran into a friend struggling and been trying to get me to use swim baits . Use what gives you confidence and present your bait right on their nose with live scope .
