So, I’m pretty much reporting that I’ve pretty much been having my a$* handed to me overall. I haven’t been able to get out a lot or for long enough, but I have caught some 9.5” specials AND a 1.5 - 2 lb, around 15”, donkey while fishing for sandies in a place I’ve never ever even seen a crappie caught. In 1.5 ft of water, current below a small set of rapids no less. These mysterious crappie never cease to amaze me I tell ya. Wish I had my phone but I left in the truck as usual. I caught a few smaller crappie there too. I switched over to crappie fishing and nada. Go back to sand bass fishing and another small crappie bites. The sandies were for a confidence boost. It was cool to catch my best crappie of the year while doing so, but aggravating as hell at the same time lol. I also recently caught way more poison ivy than I expected, or wanted, trying to get at the early fish.

So, how are all my brothers doing out there this spring?
