Not sure I could teach you anything George, but I know we'll have a good time. We could always do a little side bet on who can catch the smallest fish. Both of us are sure good at doin that.
Let's go out and terrify the dinks that remain after you win the tournament this Saturday.
Fished this morning from 7 till 11. Caught several fish, most in the 10" range, some smaller, some bigger. Nothing really big.
Went out last Saturday. The temperature read 22 degrees at the ramp, but the wind was very light so I just couldn't pass it up. So, I grabbed my thermos of coffee and had about 7 layers of thermals on and headed out. I ended up with 11 good keepers and several dinks, much like the last time I went out. Sorry no pics this time. I didn't weight the biggest one, but if I would guess it was just under 2lbs. Fish were scattered on different brush piles close to drop offs at around 25ft.

Once again, this is a new graph, so i am still learning.
So the crappie are the orange hooks piled up on the bottom or the few black hooks 4-6 feet off the bottom? Great pictures . That one on the bottom makes me think you're getting the hang of it Ledge!
those are almost all crappie hooks. Why they did not bite better is the million dollar question. Lots of shad mixed in too. The darker hooks are just more issolated fish out of the school. But they do help in sizing up the fish.
I dont guess I'm that good at reading sonar to be able to tell what fish they are unless your catching them. Normally when you find the shad the closes structure holds the fish. I believe those fish hide in the brush or on a ledge to ambush there prey. If you could tell the diffrence in species or size from sonar you need to be doing seminars across the nation ;) EB
EB that boy wonder has obviously wasted his youth staring at a locator screen or he is clairvoyant or something. All I can tell you is that I fished with him twice this week and and both times he proved to me that he is THE electronics wizard. He is a shy young man who shuns the spotlight or I would ask to be his booking agent for those seminars (-:
