i got to the chick at sunrise sunday. what a great morning!!! i fished 1/2 a day with the bite a little slow. all fish were caught in 13 to 14 ft of water fishing near bottom. most fish were caught casting kalin twister tails in different colors with crappie nibbles. i ended up catching 15 nice keepers and released them after taking pictures of the fish at the ramp. i did meet a fellow fisherman on the water and his name was dick. he lives on the river and he gave me some info on other places to catch the bigger slabs. he even took me down river to show me one of the places. what a super nice guy. the place he showed me was a best on high tide and i will give it a try when the tides are right. again thanks to dick for the info. i will post some pictures or should i say my wife will later today. tight lines JIM.B
