On the 28th we headed to the Hill again knowing we were going to tear them up. At 10:00 we only had 5 in the live well. We loaded up the boat and took off to Oconee. We ended the day with 48 and the largest being 1lb 14ozs.

I failed to mention that I attended the Talquin Slab fest for the first time. The fishing was off, but when you surround yourself with a group of great people, the fishing doesn't matter. However I did manage a couple of good fish. Each one weighed 1lb 12ozs.

All the fish pictured were taken with jigs tipped with minnows using the Spida-rollin method. The rack that I hung the fish on I made in my off time over the summer. Each row is spaced 12 inches apart to give a perspective of the fish that were caught. Good luck to all for the remainder of the fall and hope to see ya'll out there on the water.

The pic below is the smallest crappie I think I have ever caught. LOL. Could someone rotate that pic for me?
