Fished green Cyprus to catch these today, fish were on the shady side of trees right on the bottom in 5-7 fow,used white/chart with 1/8oz red head, lost a couple of keepers early and lost a 1 1/2 lbr that would have been big fish for the day and number 20, that one hurt, that was at 11:30 and I had told the wife I would be home by 10:00 so decided I better call it a day , still a good day of fishing!Attachment 95364Attachment 95365Attachment 95366Attachment 95367Attachment 95368

Glad to see you back to fishing. That thump can be addictive.
Nimrod, I would never give up the single pole because you definitely can't beat that thump!!!!!!
I used to do that very thing when I lived in Conway. A 12' jig pole, a bunch of skeeters, and some shiners made for a good day on Lake Conway back in those days.
Thats a nice mess
nice mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice catch crappie greg!......Can't beat that thump....I "dock shoot" Horseshoe lake alot. If you think jiggn is fun, you can get hooked on shootn real easy!!
Hawgdog horseshoe is one I my favorite lakes, love to fish those docks, just don't get to fish there but a couple times a year!Quote:

Nice catch, assuming 20 is the limit, a very nice outing, one to be proud of. Nice fish, too. We have very few white crappies around here, but that sort of approach works for the blacks when adapted to docks and open water boating, too, even without the stump fields or the bald cypress neither of which we have up here. Where you work the shady side of the tree, I work the dock shadow and the fingers and inside bends on the shaded side of weed lines.
