Slabbyjoe and I also had a OK day with our first look at the Goon. We ended up with 13 nice crappie so we didn't put much pressure on the Goon today.
I started out thinking that if we didn't get anything going we would just head down to Melvern. Wanted to check the Goon out to see how it compares to other rivers and creeks. It sure is a slicked out place compared to the others I've fished. It appears one can put their boat on plane and roar up stream with out much worry. Something I sure wouldn't do on the Wakareusa or Rock Creek or Walnut Creek. Sure didn't seem to have much visible structure to work. Guessing the folks that do well there have some good features they have located out in the channel and on the channel edges there.

I had my best luck using a Chapman Creek green and chartruse glow with 1/16 oz jig and Doug was using a one of those twin tail turd jigs. We each figured if the other really started doing well with one of those jigs then the other would rip the other one off with the hot jig but as it turned out we each stayed with our own jigs.

Here is a couple of our fish today.

I was surprised at the lack of stucture, fished laydowns, most of our fish came from one laydown. It was matted with trigs, leaves, had to push the end of pole thru the matt to drop the jig. My success came on pink body, chartruse tail, jig. Nice big fat crappie, was fun trying to get them out the thick brush. Catch and release day for springhillwantabee and myself.
