Had a good week fishing Joe Pool Lake from pontoon. Unfortunately the slips are not as good as the open lake.

I caught 12" plus crappie every day I fished from the pontoon on the lake. Caught large numbers of keepers plus caught a lot of dinks. Only kept the 12" crappie, as I was catching enough of that size to fill my needs. Has been a fun filled week.

Wednesday I fished my slips with a couple of good friends. Unfortunately they are not biting that well at the slips now and the ones that are caught are dinks. It was still a fun day since it was fishing with friends but the catching was not as much fun as usual.

Don't know why the bite on the slips is so slow and of small size this week as I have caught most of my large crappie between 10'-14' in 13"-20' of water on the open lake.
