Had a real good day this morning. Fished when the lake was like glass and could only manage a few small guys. Once the wind started up they turned on like crazy. All were caught on a 1/8 white head with green tail. Fish were stacked up along a drop off that went from 6-12 feet. The smaller ones were on top of the bar and the big guys were hanging on the lee ward side of the sand bar. Brought home 22 with 3 over 15 inches. Rest were over 12 inches. Maybe another 15-20 small ones. Had to back troll to get them. I just kept the jig right above the bottom, any higher and they wouldn't hit. Just a slow back troll just enough to trigger the hits. Most of the hits were very light. The pole bent slowly with no hard jerks, drifting didn't produce at all. Could only fish with one pole to maintain the right depth.

Wind became to much for me and came home early. Water still high but falling, this weekend it should be close to normal.


I wouldn't have kept so many but today was my last time out for crappies this year. TIme to target the eyes.
