Congrats on your trip and catch. A very detailed post about conditions. Thanks for sharing.
eventually rewarded after hours of wandering around. The St. John's(Astor) ramp access is wide open with water speed noticable for sure. L/l'g & S/r'g @the same time by myself was easy-peasy...until I found 'em. All 1/16 oz 2"curlytails were used, except for two Bass Assassin straight-tail tiny shad. All lures were fished "bare-back" with no Slab secret sauce(aka chew-goo/chum-gum). Top producers in the color dept. were Bubble-gum and Wildcat, both w/chartreuse tails. Speed was 1.0 - 1.2, w/t 65.3*. 90% of fish were caught l/l'g, my s/rg'd lures had 3/8 oz. egg-sinker 14" above lure. Started picking up throwbacks and the the party started. 32 Crappie caught/22 kept biggest 14" Cooler-shot was made 1/2 way through the trip. Roe development was about 70% mature(imho). Nasty wind element>2 's made me the ONLY rig launched! Very satisfied from the trip/travel and one-armed paper hanger "exercise". Thx. goes out to Slab for his Geek-skills in helping with my phone/computer glitch/incompetence(it used to work, Ed, really!) Go get ya some-
Hopefully, to help those compromised with the BAH HUMBUG syndrome, I'm attaching an unbelievable pic(poor doggie) that I saw on the news this morning...

What's it all about ELPHIE!! You're gonna do WHAT with that string of LED's?? NO! You're not gonna "Beam me up, SCOTTY"!! A dyed doggie is better than a dead doggie...
Take note: That is NOT a sweater, that is dye too!

Good job Dougy, ya did it. Good job catching some too. It's been up and down here on Griffin but I've not gotten even close to getting serious. I've been playing with electronics and such. Nice glow dog too. You decide on a color for Raven. Doh
