Took a bit to find 'em but once I did it didn't take long to see the 1/32nds wasn't getting it done so I re-tied everything to 1/16ths fishing in 13'-17' of water and it was ON!
Today was a good morning for fishing. The sun peeked out a few times but for the most part it stayed cloudy and light breezes. Brought home 5 smaller fish to eat off the bone (scaled) and the rest were solid filleting sizes. Hopefully tomorrow will be as good as today....or better.:)

Thanks guys. Yesterday was fun and today was even better. Only thing I hate is the guy and his son I promised a trip to couldn't make either day this week. Lots of big fish both days but today topped yesterday easily. I finished a solid limit (30 good fish) today at 9:30AM and since the sun came out and it got hot I called it a day. Total catch today was 55 fish. Here's a picture of two of the bigger fish.
Very Nice. Thanks for sharing.Quote:

Now that's the Crappie killer that I knew Butch to be when I joined this forum. Great report for both days Butch.
One question, do you ever start out with two size jigs, like 1\32 and 1/16 to see which is best?
Ray, I usually have my mind made up on the size jigs I wanna fish when I'm in the backyard. That's not to say I wont change a few out on the lake or sometimes I'll change all of 'em out. I usually fishing early mornings and alot of times I'll see fish hitting bait on the top. That's when I want light jigs even though I might see fish on the graph 13' down. IMO I think the fish hitting the top are the aggressive ones. Sometimes they are...and sometimes they arent. I ALWAYS watch my graph though. I'm a firm believer the fish look up so as long as the jigs are running above the fish I feel I'm good. I don't know how much a crappie feels vibrations from their lateral lines but I have seen stripers on the graph come up 45 feet to take a bait. I don't thnk the jigs have to be in a crappie's face to get him to bite as long as theyre above them and youre in aggressive feeding fish. And if I'm marking fish and they aint bitinge then I don't stick around...I move somewhere else to fish and come back later.
