Great report and congrats. How about a little detail on boat? That is a sweet jon...1436? and what is the that little control panel right where you sit?
havent been in fresh water in a couple of months... so i decided to try out NWR for the first time today considering the upcoming bash! took my soon-to-be father-in-law out with me and we had a pretty fun day! i caught just over 30 crappie and a big bowfin (on ultralight tackle) as well as a couple other panfish. he didnt catch quite as many as i did but he did his share of catching too! all in all it was a great day! hit bobs fishing hole at 7:40 and left at 3:30. also ran into a couple crappie.com members today! good to meet you guys
todays choice bait was kalins money jigs (thanks tapout)
a lot of little dinks today... but fun catching
something got a pice of him?
biggest catch today! 12inches and 1lb
the fog took forever to lift

10inches but some deformity in his stomach?

digital scale said 3.2lbs... such a great fight!

I was out on NWR as well down Carolina way. Calm winds and nice temps. Fished for catfish with an old friend and slayed some big blues. Glad you had a good day with the crappie. Nice looking supper.
Great Post! nice shots, That hole has been good to me many times and then again it has been void of fish other times. That hole was there back in the late 1970's and had crappie back then. Glad to see that nice yellow perch that far up river. 2 more weeks till the mother load comes in. Glad yall had a good day.
thank you!!! i completely custom built the boat myself... it is a 1436 with a (de-badged) yamaha 15 ... kinda small but when i bought it i thought it was big! haha... funny how quickly boats get small?
the control panel holds all my switches for the livewell, running lights, anchor lights, and accessory switch.
if youve got a few minutes i have a full write-up with lots of pictures on another forum. here is the link...

Thanks for the report. My brother was down there today in a 12' skiff. Sounds like he had about the same results as you guys.
Was hoping to hear of a few more perch being caught. Oh well. i guess they are still making their way up north. Won't be long.
I'm gonna give it a try in NC tomorrow.
Currently a non-fishing slacker! (not for too much longer)
heard from a couple guys that they were only catching one or two yellow perch... hopefully that will change soon!
great day of fishing!!! i know where you were fishing! your suppose to hide where your fishing. tight lines JIM.B
That's good work. They are right, the bridge concrete is either hit or miss. If you don't catch some quick change depths as sometimes they are surprisingly shallow. .
