Do you still use a soft plastic w/shiners or are you using the jig only with a shiner?

Lonnie I was mixing them up. Using teasers and magnum tubes. Wanted a big profile bait. When I found them they were real aggressive. Had 2 and 3 poles down several times. Different today had to set over them with drop shots but still an aggressive bite.
Fishing is pretty good if you get out really early and fish till 11 or so. Gets really hot after that.
Got out early this morning and it was already hot but the fish were biting. Had a limit in 2 hrs. Caught some big fish today 2 plus lbs. Found them on small shad in 12 to 15 fow.
Had a phenomenal day yesterday with my buddy and his daughter Taylor. Caught well over a 100 crappie, sandbass and hybrids.
Tim, i been out of the loop awhile. but that does not look like your old meat boat. new boat?
Yes that's the crappie boat. Took an old friend I used to fish with all the time years ago this morning and we had a good time. We missed way more than we caught talking and laughing about the good old days.
Had a great day with some good friends. Caught alot of fish today with several doubles on drop shots. First time I can remember on some catching a crappie on 1 hook and a sandbass on the other but done that several times. Had some with 2 crappie together and others with 2 sandbass. Water temp is in the mid 80's and clearing up. High water ramp at Osage cove is now open and McFadden ramp down by the dam. Pioneer is still the only lake access on the north end.
I realize most lakes are still high but fishing is great. Managed another limit today. Focus on rocks and standing timber. Great weather for July so get out there and enjoy it. About any species you want to catch is biting.
