Good supper indeed

[cook]

Got a full limit of whites and crappie yesterday and today...dropped them off to an older gentleman that I used to fish with...he has had health issues for the last year now....he about had me in tears... hard to beat that for Christmas.
Area under the bridge by free ramp has a good size area free of ice....very consistant bite since sunday...not sure how long it will last.

Hope ya'll don't think I'm bragging.....I'm just blessed to live 2 minutes away,and not have to work till noon....easy to check it out every day and share the info with local folks,of course the first time one of you give it a shot...it will be a slow day,Oh,well....

Won't be able to get out too much more....its almost christmas,work is very busy with partys,then off to Florida for January.


Life is good at times

Hit w-bridge again today though i got my 15 fish but i guess i need to learn to count only had 14 but they were all good fish. looks like you will have to pick a number for a piller they fill up early everone was catching there limit did't really matter what color but most were down deep 25'-30.'
