    Default After the massive windstorm.


    Jigging around dock where my toon was I was ketchn quite a few on a new honeyhole mostly dinks but still the thump. Tossed the few keepers as I was about to go to church. Ended up ketchn 8 nice ones. Yuge windstorm blew thru in early morning and I knew it because our Yorky reacts to storms by walking across my face and woke me up at 3 am. So even after big front crappie still were biting.

    So bad it up ended several pontoons, docks/lifts and covers.

    Went out next morning and caught a few more but only couple of good ones. Just shows you should always fish if u can no matter what front or weather event happens.

    Good advice and some nice thumpers mixed in there!

    Glad to hear the worst storm damage YOU got was a dog walking across your face!

    Upside-down boats are never a good thing. Can't even rotate that pic.

    Nice fish.

    No matter the weather fish still need to eat and you found some nice hungry ones. Haven't fished for crappie in a couple months, bass and bluegill are keeping me happy.

    Hopefully the folks that had damage can get it resolved. Congratulations on finding the fish.

    sure the dock people know how to get the craft, lifts and docks righted but wonder how that will effect the motors which were totally inundated and upside down in water?

    Heck of a storm, brother lives in O'fallon. Says there was power outage and lots of rain. Poor toon, but some good fishing.
