    Ok now for the rest of the story....I have read posts on here until I am blue in the face...i have watched Richard Gene videos....cuz it's good fer ya!!!!!and I went out Saturday to dubisson...french for mudhole from december to may.....and proceeded to find fish trolling.....cranks and longlining....neither of these methods productive....then I sat over brushpiles and this was not productive either.....I took the picture of the christmas tree because it looked like it was in a foot of water...and it was in a foot of water....so happened that the brushpiles I was fishing were nearby so I put a 1/32 jighead that I bought a pack of when I got the shiners and i put an ild time cork on my line...a 10 foot b n m rear seat jiggin pole and went to work.....started at the christmas tree and down da bank I went.....well not far from the christmas tree....oh yeah, there was a shiner(Bruce) on the jighead......and I was fishing 8-10 inches deep....right down the bank from the christmas tree the bank depth was less than 8 inches...so me bein the cajun that I am just twitched it(JR) till it was greater than 8 inches deep and the cork disappeared....happened so fast I lost my breath....lol....any ways I regained my senses and set the hook....that's the bass...first fish sympathy and he was small so I let him go...still 2 filets that I COULD have had....good thing for him he wasn't the third fish.....so I worked my way down the bank dipping sticks and branches and then BAM!!!!a sacalait from less than 12 inches of water(20watt)......as you can imagine I needed resuscitation at this point...after all it is March AND the water is thick with mud.....well Got another shiner on pulled anther sac .....OUT OF THE SAME HOLE.......so now I of all people have a SPOT!!!!!!!my point of all this is getting out of my comfort zone(MO)
    and doing something different....which may take some getting used to.....and just because I can't fish every week doesn't mean I can't learn about fishing and use it for confidence the next time I get to go.....crappie .com folks ARE the best and without it I would not be still fishing for sacalait today...water temp 63 muddddddy winds from the north which was protected on the bank I was fishing...then it got dark and I had to go....saw wildlife and fisheries on the way out....all was legal and I thanked him for his service....he was very nice.

      Nice looking fish. With 63 degree water temps and muddy conditions those fish should be spawning up in the shallows soon, or even already started.
