I also had a good day fishing with and meeting a fellow crappie dot comer that convinced me that the Marina does in fact give a very good minnow count after using up our minnows around 9:45 am from the very unimpressive count we received from the station on the Northeast corner of the intersection that has two bait stores. Also noting the last two times Doug and I bought minnows there they gave us good minnow counts.
Showing what a small world it is John and I discovered we both knew the same person though from different perspectives - John's was from his work and mine was from fishing. I let Jeff know I fished with you and he said great and now hopes to do some winter crappie fishing with you so you can learn and discover the joy of winter crappie fishing.
Yep it was a good day and looking for a repeat.
