love it! Thanks guys, I definitely need to check out some other areas. On the 9" fish comment you know 3 years ago size wasn't an issue during the spring. I have noticed that the amount of 5-9" fish has become more common for myself. Just fishing in general I haven't got into the sandbass like we used to. Back to crappie glad to hear the jig bite might be coming back. If any of you see an old 1977 light blue/white ranger or blue camo kayak thats me I still enjoy the kayak for the ultimate in stealth. Might try and get out and see what I can find this weekend.
