Saturday in a "Raleigh Parks" lake:

4:45pm-7:45pm (best fishing 4:45-6:00pm)

8 crappie 10-13.75" (13.25"=1 lb 3.75 oz; 13.75"=1 lb 7.5 oz)
custom minnow rig
bobber/minnow
#6 Vanish Transition Line
4-8' deep
Water Temp: 85F-87F


I spent the morning installing my new Lowrance GPS/Sonar unit--and consequently rewiring the boat. It works; I just have to throw a Navionics chip in it. The bites were extremely light today, but the average fish was much larger than Wednesday. I caught a total of 11 fish--8 were 10"+ (10"; 11.25"; 11.5"; 12"; 12.5", 13.25"; 13.75"). There was no crappie "tick" resonating through my 10' ProAnglerTackle.com rod today--I just felt a little more or a little less than the 3/16oz sinker my wrist was used to suspending. As could be predicted upon their lack of striking zeal, they were biting quite short. To get a better hookset, I eased the pole toward the strike as I would do trolling for Walleye, then set the hook.

I may mix in a few trips to Jordan soon now that I have my boat ready.
