Went back to the "ol' reliable" spot and set up about 9pm. Caught 2 slabs in the first half hour and thought maybe the slump had ended. Only landed 3 more crappies--a taterchip and 2 lifters--in the next 2 1/2 hours. Also caught 3 catfish around 4-5 lbs. There's been many times over the years that I've fished 3 hours and caught alot less than 8 fish but I been spoiled by the nitetime crappie action. Last few outings the crappies seem to bite early then slow down. Gonna try that early morning bite soon.
