    Default After work trip, 10-3


    I bailed from work a bit early today to take advantage of this fine weather once again. Checked with 870 but he had plans and wasn't able to ride along so another solo trip and as usual, the only one out on the water. Air temp at 71 and water temps between 65 and 66 all evening. It had been mostly cloudy and calm for the better part of the day but around 2:30 the clouds began to break up and the wind came up some but it didn't alter my plans.
    I had lines in the water just after 4. Actually landed the first fish as I was setting up; got the sonar up and running, noticed a mark under the boat, dropped the Percy Crappie Magnet over the side and fish #1 was in the boat, an average bluegill. Then got the other 2 rods rigged and headed out for real. Good 'gills were plentiful tonight, lot of sunnies between 8 and 9 inches.

    Got a few more crappie than the last couple of trips as well, I think I got 9 total. Here's a sample.....

    That's a roadrunner 1/32 oz head with a Southern Pro triple tail grub in Tennessee Shad color. I'll bet 3/4 of my fish total came on it; white didn't do too well tonight.
    Same roadrunner with a black and chartreuse did OK, both curly tail and straight stinger tail, especially as the light began to fade.

    All 35 fish I caught would get released back today. No perch would be caught and the one small bass I hooked spit the hook before I could get him close enough to net.
    Yes, I was talking to myself; sometimes even I have to ask for expert advice.
