Well developed roe?
Went out to lake Jesup, to check if any signs of the spawn was happening, so decided to pick up some minnows . The morning started at a brisk 56F & my 1st hand dip into the bucket reminded me of the dis-pleasure the next couple hrs would bring keeping my hands warm...then with signs of life in the pads & reeds teaming w/bait, thought this may be all worth it, only to have 1 gar after another steal minnows, after a couple spots & hang ups in cover, decided I'd try the bridge, no minnow takers there either...so thank goodness I brought the trolling poles & set my sites to open water, mind you, not 1 speck already 10:30 am...well 1st fish Bang 13"er, road-runner...then a pattern developed with more road-runner hook-ups, the cold appeared to send them deeper, set up 2 more poles with road-runners & the numbers started piling up. Ended the day with a 10lb. kitty that barely made the net, on my 4ft ugly stik UL, that took close to a 1/2 hr to land on 4lb. test...guess all is well, that ends well...but NO Minnows For This GUY...never know, there's always next yr for minnows...LOL... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
crappie down !

that sounded like a good trip. A little slow getting started, but it worked out.

Good trip Jeff, I should’ve gone with you. Great cooler shot. I feel better knowing I wasn’t the only one that got let down last time to the bridge. No miners for me for a while either

Nice catch Jeff, you guys had me thinkin about pulling out the minner rigged poles....think I'll just stay with the jigs for now.
The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"hdhntr, Speck Detector LIKED above post
