Put my Christmas present to use today and practice a little dock shooting with my new Huckabee Six Shooter what a nice rod it's so sensitive you can feel the slightest bumps; managed to catch a few nice slabs along with some throw backs but still enough to break out the filet knife. I came across a pack of black/char glitter Li'l Wasshoppah I had tucked away that needed to be used, they worked great never even tried another color. Not sure of the water temp I would guess in the mid to upper 40's. The bite came on a steady hand or just slightly pulling along the front of the boat slips in about 6 to 8 fow. Didn't start until 3:00, probably could have limited with an earlier start but the late evening gave way to an awesome sunset!

With the temps going to reach the mid-60's for Saturday I just couldn't resist heading to the lake, had a few other obligations to do first so didn't get to the water till noon and though it was nice nestled up in the cove the wind was consistent enough to maintain some steady caps out on the main lake. We fished the docks but with the nicer weather so came a lot of dock dwellers whom brought with them a lot noise, beaten and banging, needless to say we didn't do any good dock side so we decided to pull some lines (troll) from the back of the cove out to the bridge. Still no crappie but as we turned out over the main channel we did pick up a nice 2 lb. blue on a BG Stroll'R Green Banana, so in the spirit of making some lemonade from lemons we set a few jug out in the area which lead to going ahead and spending the first night of the year on the houseboat which we normally don't do until closer to April. After a late evening run followed up with an overnight soak for a morning run we ended up with several perfect eaten sized blues, about 20 to 25 lbs. The wind was like ice and 2 foot swells kept us from re-setting after the morning harvest but still a good weekend none the less.
Those kitties eat nice!

How is the crappie bite? My first time on Gibson will be this coming Friday. A friend invited me on a guided spoonbill trip in the afternoon so I thought I would try to find some crappie in the AM.

I am just now seeing your replay. That is the area we fished. Current was strong but found a lay down out of the current in 18 FOW. Had our two man limit in a short time and spent the rest of the morning looking around. Fish were caught with single pole single jig. Also did well on the spoonbills, boated 17 that afternoon.

How's the crappie bite? Did they start moving up before this cold front?
