Where were you fishing dr? Blue creek?

Yes we fished there mostly. We had better luck for numbers out on goose Island? I am not sure of that name. Were you in blue Creek as well?

Did really good in Eufaula Sunday. Fishing off a open dock. The weather was light winds, partly cloudy and air temps in the 50's-mid 60's. Caught 27 keepers released at least as many dinks. Average size was 11". It was a learning experience though. I got the word from my brother in Vian and drove the hour and a half to see. The first hour, 10-11 a.m., I was vertically presenting a orange and chartreuse tube jig on a 16th oz multi colored round jig head, fishing at 18-15', all around the dock and doing no good not even a bite. Brought the depth up in the water column a bit from 12-10'. Still nothing. Discouraged and desperate not to have wasted 3 hours of driving and thinking of cussing my brother i thought maybe my jigs ain't acting right? So I reeled up in the water column in an empty slip to visually watch my jig action. Within 20 seconds a fat white swipe turned away from the jig. Huh? Yep. I started casting and retrieving around 4-2' in the water column and the crappie were thick. Switched to a 2.5" pink Bobby Garland with a 16th oz white swim head jig and the big ones came out. Fished from 10-3 p.m. and had the best stringer so far this year. I would post pics but I'm still learning how to without looking stupid. I'm going out to Oologah this Saturday and seeing if I can find some bank locations and repeat the pattern. Good fishing everyone!

That's how you do it! if one thing or depth or jig isn't working you have to keep doing different things until you find what does work. Going that shallow this time of year? man fishing off of docks can be funny business and different.
