All I know is the crappie stopped biting and the gar began showing up. Whether or not they're related is anybody's guess. If there's one thing I've learned after coming back to Eufaula last year, it's that there's a lot of older folks out there that know a lot more about fishing than I do. Haha.

That being said, I caught 2 more bright and early and I was seeing no gar and then I got no more bites. A couple of hours later I started seeing the gar again and the only bite I got was a gar running off with my last tuxedo colored jig, so I opted to come home and mow my lawn. I probably won't have another chance to go out again before the storms roll in in a few days, but I hope my best days are still ahead of me this season.

I can't complain too much, though. The 10 crappie I've caught is still better than the 4 I caught all year in 2015.
