Good thing you guys weren't the only ones fishing!!!
Met Jackb at Bucksaw Ramp a little after 7 and headed UP river. Had a good morning. Managed to catch 43 crappie and one 3#+ bucketmouth. All fish were caught on blk/char Paddletails. First 19 came from dipping hardwoods and took about 2 1/2 hrs. Other 24 came from 2 pole slow trolling double jigs along the channel edge and took less than an hour! Larger fish came from hardwoods but slow trolling produced plenty of nice keepers.
Here is a pic that proves I do allow Jack to catch fish when he fishes with me.
Second pic is a "not so happy ending" to a great morning. Many thanks to Curt and his buddy, Pat, for towing us to the marina after we ran out of gas. Gotta get that gage replaced again.
