Thanks Slacktide! Me and my buddy had a blast, one hell of a guy to take a couple strangers out on the water and put a hurting on some crappies. Caught Kept and cleaned over 40 the first day and 50 crappie the second day and caught every bit of 120 in the last two days.

That is incredible. I'm assuming these are tidal James river crappie? If so, did they have those little red worms? You can usually just take a knife tip and pry them out. I've always wondered why the river fish have them and the lake fish do not. Congrats on the success all.
