first 'fall' fishies

[healthnspector]

With air temps in the 50s this morning and the stiff north-westerly breeze, it felt like fall. I was crappie huntin on a local pond but quickly settled in to a gill bite. These fish dominated my planned crappie pattern. Found these guys just off ledges at 12-14 ft in 15 fow. All came on 3/16 oz tube jigs with willow leaf blade & waxies. As the sun got higher they stayed inside the edges of shade from the willows and cattails. Tried chartreuse, white, green pumpkinseed, brown glitter, they didn't care. All were nice healthy fat fish, mostly 9 inchers. Beats a morning at work any day.
