It was tough during the day yesterday from 2-6. Caught one small crappie from during that period. A friend told me I was going too early as I normally leave around 6. Said the bite was late now, between 7 pm till midnight.
So I stayed instead of leaving. Between 6:30 till 9 I caught 8 crappie, a couple of keepers' rest were small. They were still biting when I left at 9 pm.
Now 8 more in a couple of hours doesn't sound like much but when you compare it to the 2-3 in 6 hours of fishing that has been my luck the last month you can understand how I felt about catching those 8 crappie. I had almost forgotten what the bite felt like.
More importantly several of those crappie were starting to put their war paint on.

Any day I'm fishing is a good day, regardless of what I catch.
