I hit Beaverdam swamp on Saturday and again Monday afternoon. The crappie are starting to fatten up for the fall. Even the small ones have a nice belly one them.

I got about 20-25 in 3 hours on Saturday with several nice keepers over 3/4 pound. Most were caught over the weed beds. I also got three nice bass. The largest one was about 3 pounds.

On Monday, they were scattered everywhere. Only one weed bed consistently produced. The crappie were smaller, but very agressive. I got about 50 in 5 hours of trolling.
