Limped out there tonight in my boat, with my trim issues. Cloudy, water temp 78 degrees, no moon, very little wind, barometer 29.87 and steady. Didn't run too far, anchored in 40 foot of water and got skunked from 6:30 - 8:30.

We made a few adjustments and caught 11 crappie - ten keepers - and one fiddler cat fishing 16 ft deep. All fish came tightlining on minnows and the Capps and Coleman rig was responsible for only one fish. Single hook rigs ruled the night, and big fish was 12.5.

The bite was VERY light, the only fish that took it and ran was the catfish, and most of the other fish seemed to take the bait and continue swimming further up into the water column. I hope this helps.

Way to go partner!!!!!!!!!!Glad you got out there I am still under the wardens orders here and she aint letting me out of the house.Maybe if I am healed up this weekend good she will let me out of here.

Hook em and bring em in the boat.
Boys look at them bouncing juggs lets get them in the boat.

nice catch!

Heck yeah bud!

That's a nice catch for sure. I believe that picture provided the necessary motivation I needed to get back out there next week.

By the way, those fiddlers are fun. I always mistake them for a fish twice their size. I just wish they wouldn't slime the line so bad.
