Jeremy (Crataegus) Joined us for a good day on Jordan

Charles and I were glad to have Jeremy join us on the Beast for a day of fishing. We kept 30 today with Jeremy taking them home to eat. Probably caught 75 or more, but threw a number back. Jeremy didn't want anything under 10.5, so we threw all those smaller back.

Most were caught on minnows, although a few did bite jigs and they were caught no more than a couple of feet off the bottom. The fish are clearly staging, so if you have a favorite place for pre-spawn, you had better be checking it out. The morning started off pretty cold, as you can see by one of the pictures below. I had some really good screen-shots, but somehow they did not get saved to my SD card. I'll have to post them later sometime.

Awesome! But who caught the first fish???

Jeremy always gives me $3 when he goes with me. Dollar on the first, dollar on the biggest, dollar on the most.

Dennis, how deep and what color? Electric chicken jokers were hot Tuesday.

Chief, that's the tradition on my boat... $1 on the first fish.

16-24 feet today--up in the mouths of some creeks. Go to where you and my Father did well a couple of years ago. They are thick in there.

I think I caught the first one, but it was a throw-back. I think most of our fish were males ganged up for pre-spawn.

Nice job guys. I couldn't make it out today but I'll be at Jordan tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully my luck will continue and be half as good as yours.

Nice report

Congratulations to y'all on a good day on the water. Thanks for sharing. Hey JordanLimit what rods are you using? Thanks

Good job guys got 5 more weeks till I can get back on the water ( yea)

Dennis and Charles,

Thank you for the opportunity to fish with you all. I had fun. I didn't reply last night...took me a while to clean all those fish!!

Dennis, 24 of the 30 kept fish yesterday were...female! Surprised me too!

When fishing with Chief, I give him $3...$1 for first, most, and biggest fish. Then he gives me $30 for bringing him that much luck 3 times.

Jeremy

Is that ice on the rods or just water?

That's ice on the rods. I had to shake them around some underwater to melt the it off. The rods are Crappie Maxx from BassPro. Jeremy and Charles had the good rods--Southern Crappie!! They are on my wish list.

Interesting Jeremy that most were female. That means they are staging as well.

I got me a few Southern Crappie Rods back around Christmas and LOVE them!! Good job on the catching there JordanLimit and guys. I took a buddy and his kids yesterday and they wore them out, but at the community holes.

Take a kid outdoors!

NICE CATCH GUYS

Nice guys, great job and getting Jeremy to go with you right before the first tourney is a nice move but that's ok because he's going with me tues. or wed. Hey Jeremy I'm good for $30 also if you can make it. HaHa LOL Now on the serious side, I am, along with Charles & Dennis and a lot of you are looking forward to this spring and the Bigeyecrappieman tournaments it' always a good time!!!!

Thanks, Dennis. Jeremy, I'm retired and need your 3 bucks for lunch. Where would I get $30?

I'm going to spend $2 and hope to get 300 million on Wednesday.
