Good summer fishing

I haven't had a chance to do much crappie fishing so yesterday they were the target. While heading out I came upon big pods of catfish feeding on top in over 200' of water. Too good of an opportunity to pass up for the girls. They caught 6 in 30 minutes and then we moved on searching for crappie. The first spot had some nice fish but the bite was really tough to figure out, little more than a nudge. Not unusual for this time of year. The next spot held some crappie but it was hard to get past the catfish. The 3rd spot was the bite we were looking for. Good aggressive strikes that my great niece could hook. They were also nailing the white Trout Magnet on the drop. Watching the line dart then reeling fast to catch up to them was good fun. In general the crappie were 17-20' deep in 40' of water

That is some kinda nice payday right there, nice job!

Looks like they're pointing to a particular fish; some back story on that one?

I'm not sure what that was about. Hard to tell with those two characters.

I love it. Very nice pics, fish report and the water looks beautiful up there. Thanks for sharing.

I'd venture to say that finger pointing was mostly a "see what we did" gesture, than any reference to any one fish.
