BM Tuesday 4/16

[Texas Pete]

Made the trip back to BM to see if I could hone in on the specs and avoid the others. Although I did manage to avoid all but a few bass and ring perch, the shellcrackers and other assorted perch/bream were the king today. Caught shellcrackers up to 12" and one ring perch that was 15". Altogether the perch totaled 61 and the crappie totaled 18. All were caught on 1/32 jigs and assorted plastic in water as shallow as 6" and just as Saturday, the different species were on the same stretches. On a few occasions, I'd catch a perch and then a crappie in the same brush on back-to-back casts. Mike

Ive only caught one in my life that was 15" on the money. But was spawned out

I caught a big yellow perch there 2 weeks ago and a mess of crappie. Have the crappie finished with spawning yet?

Thanks for posting.
