No pot-bellied pomoxis to report this time. The fish were where they were supposed to be. They were just smaller. I caught 15 crappie and all of them were 10"+ but nothing approaching 2 lbs. The winds were from the east, and the weather was unseasonably cool. Did that shut off the big bite? Most came off hump 1, a couple from hump 2 and a couple from the PVC. That's all I had time to fish--I had to work the next day after all. It's Trillium seed collection season! Hey, it was a good day! I had fun!

Now that I've been a member of Crappie.com for over a year, it is really interesting to look back at the posts a year ago. Monday will be exactly one year since quick report #2. I'll give a comparative report.
