I was only able to fish until just after 1:00. There were thunderstorms in the area so I left the lake after catching 53 crappie. Most were caught on Kalins Money jig with a few on a pearl, pink, or blue ice BGBS. Also got a few with a chartreuse/pearl wasshoppah tipped with a crappie nibble. Most fish were caught 3'-6' down over structure in water 7' to 10' deep including my biggest at 13" and 1lb 3oz.



Here's one I got long lining.



Here's a video of me pulling in two of the 53.

I got soooo lucky today. I had a bite on one of my poles long lining and went to throw the rod in my hand down on my boat and threw it over the side of my boat into the water. Well, figuring it was a goner I started reeling my lines in to make a turn and lo and behold, my line had snagged the line of the rod I lost. I grabbed the line, pull it into the boat along with my very wet reel and rod. Talk about being lucky. It wasn't an expensive rod but one that my father gave me that I use when fishing under bridges so I was happy to get it back.

Water temp was 73-74 and the parking lot was already packed when I got to Glen Allens at 6:15. I guess I'll have to get there even earlier next time I head up that way.
