And boy howdy was it a tough thing to do and to top it off they ran VERY small and to make it worse lots of other fish got in on the action as well .
about 7 foot under a fixed float in water about 12 foot deep in the shade was my presentation and there were lots of small bait fish on the surface and lots of everything trying to eat them .
Big gar ,longnose I think were rolling all on the top everywhere and small 3 inch bass were racing around blowing up the surface with them .
It was busy for sure ,but to be just as sure it was SUPER hard to pick off a crappie in that mess of action and most was really small baby crappie .
I did manage to hold one ok crappie fish but its in a video that I cant load here .
I tried a larger bait at first and only managed 1 bass and 2 crappie and changed to a small lil fry and started upping the game .
managed to ketch 3 bass, 7 bluegill , 1 small blue cat and about a dozen or so small crappie .
and some of the crappie were EXTRA small
sometimes it just is what it is from the bank you know

Action was similar on Ray Roberts yesterday. Tons of 8-9" crappie on the bridge pilings. Only got 5 keepers, and a blue cat as well as a ton of bluegill bites.

No doubt.....

Ketchn, I respect a man that knows how to keep a balance in life!

Hey, matters not the size, you were not in the office my man! Good times. I was a Pharma rep for quite a while and traveled all over East Texas. I carried a telescoping fishing pole with me and would stop at rivers and fish. If there were others there, I would give them the fish if they took them off the hook. Haha. Kind of hard to explain to a doctor why I smell like fish after lunch.

Nice report

Too bad you can’t turn lunch into dinner at the Trinity. Well, you can, but you’ll probably catch more than the holy spirit. Nice ketch’s

It sounds like you had quite the adventure under that bridge in Ft. Worth. Fishing can really become an addictive pursuit, especially when you're surrounded by all that action. Sometimes, even in the midst of a lot of activity, it's a bit challenging to land the catch you're after.By the way, have you heard about anhedonic depression? It's something that can affect anyone, and understanding it can provide valuable insights. If you're interested, I found some helpful info about it at https://fherehab.com/learning/anhedonia-whаt-is-it/.

Certainly a mixed bag! KABOOM!
