Thread: JPP report 5/19

We launched about 5:45 AM last Saturday. The ramp was crowded with lots of like minded folks heading out to fish. We started out long lining 4 jigs and trolling 2 crank baits and caught a couple early, but it was really pretty slow for the first hour or so. We were marking a lot of fish 5 to 10 feet down in 12 to 15 FOW, but not getting much action. I finally decided to try a different part of the cove where there is a smaller point, then a drop off followed by a bigger point. We marked fish there as well and found some crappie that were willing to provide some action. My wife, of course, caught the big fish of the day, a 14 inch black crappie. We picked up a couple of nice bonus white bass as well, and ended the trip about 11:30 when the water lice showed up in force.
