Friday Fun at Smithville

[billd2626]

I fished for four hours this afternoon off the bank at W bridge (the eastern W bridge) and caught about 30. Only 5 keepers, and only 2 of the keepers were over 9 1/2" .. largest was 14". They hit just about any color I threw (black & chartreuse was the best) .. fished anywhere from 18" - 5' under a bobber .. almost all caught within 10 feet of bank.

It seemed like about 1/3 of Clay County was fishing up there .. I've never seen that many people on that bridge .. pretty crowded.

I don't normally clean 9-10" and didn't see the need to clean the only two larger than that. Obviously not having crappie for dinner (warmed up pizza, here I come!), but it was a good time .. beautiful day and great to feel the bit again!

A friend and I caught 24 keepers last night in 2-4 on main lake coves. All male White Crappie. We caught 2 limits the night before. No Slabs , just good solid keepers. The bite is on!
