Jeffery and I have been doing a good job using them up. But you and H have been missing in action lately.
Jeffery and I fished Thursday afternoon and Saturday afternoon last week. And yes, it was hot fishing in the afternoon.
Thursday I had a decent crappie fishing day for Lake Worth. I caught over a dozen crappie and a few sand bass. Seven of the crappie were over 11" but the biggest was only 12 1/4 inch. Jeffery only caught a couple of small crappie but he caught a lot of nice sized sand bass. We caught most of them at that one dock you showed me, the rest under the bridge when the heat became too much to ignore. Don't understand why the other docks aren't producing crappie.
Saturday was the reverse of action. I only caught 3 small crappie and couple of small sand bass. Jeffery caught 7 crappie over 12 inches plus as many small ones but only a couple of sand bass. We were using similar rods with red/chartreuse tube jigs but just a few feet difference in space made a big difference in catching. I tried other jigs and colors but that was the one they wanted when you got it in from of them.
It became so hot Saturday that we called it a day at 4:30. They were not biting under the bridge and the heat was unbearable at that dock.
I would be interested in doing some early morning fishing if you are interested. Give me a day's notice as I need to get some gas before my next trip in the boat.

Any day I'm fishing is a good day, regardless of what I catch.
