....that the crappie have started pulling off the brush some and are headed onto the flats again getting ready to bust some shad. I didnt take any pics as I wasnt really on a full fledged fishing trip today but I did spend a couple hours close to home dragging jigs around on a 15'-20' flat and seen balls of shad with fish under 'em. Water temps were 76*-78* between 10AM-12NOON. I caught 25 fish and coulda kept 15 or more over 10" but only wanted a few for me, the wife, Dad, and his wife. Now I cant wait to get back out at daylight and give 'em a real good try. The fish I cleaned had shad in 'em so I'd say the fall feed has started already. Tightlining brush is a great way to fill coolers but IMO longlining will work pretty good now too. Time to hunt 'em up and start filling livewells.
