    Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk those are the fish burrito's. Find the brush there you are catching nice ones. 1 boat out on water for 4 days fishing, so no competition.

    forgot to say, caught in 10-12 foot of water in thick brush around docks right off bottom. You find brush you are catching lots of fish. 22-35 temps, 15-20 mph wind, fishing around bridge on causeway, schools coming in under bridge. fishing early isn't productive, bite starts around 9 thru middle of day. warm water outlet brush is great. there are few docks but ones have brush around them are awesome.

    You sure did have a nice catch. See you have them all lined up for someone to clean.

    That b me and my buddy tho I caught most of them. Thanks guys for the comments it was a BLAST despite the wind and cold. If I could figure out how to detect the light bite with a bobber and cast farther would have caught many more and bigger. T hill is a funny lake, all the best fishermen there fish from shore strictly and tear them up daily. still learning the ropes but good thing all are willing to share information and where the brush is.

    Good pics and a good looking Crappie Salad.

    If you don't already use one, try a stick float that connects with a spring affair on the one end. I wrap my line twice and haven't had any issues. When they come from below the float lays over. Works real well for me.
