I wandered down to the Mississippi River and fished some marina docks this morning and did well. The crappies were color fussy and hit real light, but 9 came home for the pan along with a super sized perch.

The wind got pretty raw with the temp at 32 while I was there. Next weeks forecast temps could put ice on the marina if they show up as cold as they predict. I'll have to wear my ice kicking boots then.
