Yes,that is correct.

Five from 1lb 15ounces to 2lbs 3ounces. Same as last time but had to run up river when the Wind picked up. Up river, shallow and deep, equally good. I modified the MoMagic for minnows, worked great. Lots of fish, all sizes, not just big ones.

I like the mod!!

It looks outstanding with a minnow stuck in there. I fished a BG pink/purple minnow minder on the other rod, and the fish definitely preferred the modified Mo. Another neat thing is you can tap your index finger on top of the rod and those little legs will do a quick little jiggle jump (1/4 ounce head with braid).

Good trip to Wister. Actually, 3 good trips in the last month. Spawn is winding down. Still catching some, but for the most part it seems to be over. Water temp had dropped to 68 and risen a foot, vis was down to 12" most places. An outstanding spring on Wister, caught more 2lb+ fish this year in 7 trips than I have my whole crappie career (all 7 years of it LOL). This last trip, and this has been the recent trend, catching more smaller fish and have to work a bit harder for the big ones. Useing same techniques and fishing the same places as last posts. Wister, Sardis, Texoma & Hugo have been spared the last 2 blow outs and will be in good shape. At least we have somewhere to fish if you dont mind driving.

How is Wisters water clarity right now? I see that it's up 4 feet or so...

All set to go next Sunday then realized its Mothers Day and Mom doesn't fish! ARGGG!
