[Percidae_Papermouth]

being next sat is christmas eve this will probably be my last trip of the year.banghead I used only my handtieds and the plastics ive been tinkering with the last week. Started off at the dam end of the lake, caught 5 soon as I hit the water tightlining 2 rods set 9 & 12 Ft deep in 12-15 FOW one with the orange/chart paddle tail the other a green/white handtied. Caught a 8 or 9 casting the mini twitch minnow and even 2 longlining really slow, then got in em good just off of a flat covered with SAV (coontail) caught one at 14 5/8" 4.5 ft deep in 7-8 FOW, ended up with 44 Crappie and two bass, one of which was a pretty nice fight on a 9' Wally Marshell Crappie Thunder with a Shimano 500 4# vicous line....Hah was the same handtied as I caught the nicest crappie of the day.... I had a blast, just wish my dad could have joined me Hes fighting off a resperatory thing, hoping its not pnemonia again.
