Haven't been out for a few weeks,so was going for cats today.Couldn't net any shad and the rain was kinda steady so I grabbed the crappie rod and headed under the bridge.
T ook about an hour to start getting bites after trying different methods/colors.Ended up casting parrallel to the rocks 5-8 feet out.Slow ,slow,steady retrieve..most bites were on the bottom jig just about hitting the bottom about 5-6 deep.
Not a limit,but ended up with 12 and even a few white bass.
Not bad since I was fishing just 1 spot in the rain,and was pretty muddy since they dumped all that water.
a 12 and a 14",all the rest were normal,didn;t have to measure but 1 or 2.Looks like fall pattern(putting on the feedbag shallow) is starting to take shape.
