old river 2-26-09
No work today so me and bro in law hit the river and managed a few fish. Hopefully the big girls will follow these boys into the cypress garden.
Caught 60 sacalait. Better half was 9-11" fish with a couple of fatties in the mix. Biggest two were 13 and 14". A stinkin no good bass and a couple nice bream. All caught in 2' of water or less on blue jigs tipped w/ white nibbles around knees. First time using a hand tied jig and I think I like it....just don't like putting those nibbles on, but they wouldn't have mattered today anyways.
The bucket:

best pic i can offer right now:
Sorry for the crappy camera phone pics. I got a new camera yesterday and have some better pics where you can really see their sunday's bests and bloody feet, but I guess I have to buy a card reader, cus I can't figure this fancy shmancy thing out.

Looks like y'all had quite a day Adam. Congrats to you and B-I-L and thanks for the report and pictures even if they are a little "crappie". By the way what are you calling "Old River"?

Awsome catch i am assuming that is in southern La. but i live in the North, and i am hoping next weekend we can catch them like that shallow, the weather should really get them turned on next week, congrats!

Wouldn't it be kinda hard to use the bait pump with "hand tied jigs"?
I pursue all three major fish species--white perch, sac-au-lait, AND crappie! :D
