Glad you got out Brad. Sounds like a good day. Do not push it to early. I know it is hard to fight the urge though. I was going for 2 or 3 hours at a time until I got my back better. Should have just waited until it was better.
It was great to get out after a seven week stint on the DL. Sure have been missing the water. Discovered two things today
1) My knee isn't ready to go fishing yet
2) I have really really missed fishing!
Fished about four hours and two of us ended up with 25 keepers, if I could have taken it longer we should have finished out limits. Fished standing timber from 2 - 20 feet of water. The crappie were anywhere from 6 inches to 15 feet deep. Fished with 1/16th oz jig head and they would hit it on the fall. Colors: blue/black/chart, red/chart, pink/melon, white/yellow/chart, white/blue/chart.
We caught probably three 8 7/8" crappie for every keeper. Should be excellent fishing as soon as they eat another shad or two! We'll see what happens with the proposed draw down in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for the report. Glad you were able to get out. Sounds like a pretty good day to me. Which arm of the lake where you fishing?

Rick,
Just fished the Lindly between Nemo and Pittsburg Landing. Although we caught a lot of fish we didn't catch any big ones. It was still good to be out.

Thanks for the info. We'll be fishing the Bolivar Landing area tomorrow. I'll post tomorrow evening with the results. It may be tough, I think it's going to be windy.
