Thread: Beautiful day on the water

Launched at 10 this morning to an oil slick glass river. There were a fair number of boats on the water and some really obnoxious ones at that. Had a few ask me how I was doing and against my instincts I told them. They proceeded to set up a 100 feet away. Sorry but 100 feet is too close on a 100 mile long river. Finally managed to find a quiet place with a bunch of fish, then a couple of more spots that were loaded with active fish. Ended up with 43 crappie on the clicker and 10 in the cooler. Average size was 10 inches with a couple around 12. The fish were still near bottom but very active and willing to chase a jig. Water was 42 degrees and it was so nice to be out and be able to take off my coat. There were alot of fish "shad?" All over the river showing up on the graph.
