Managed to get out on the water for only the 5th time this year and only the second time in my Lund. (I own a 14' crappie jon as well for the Suffolk Lakes) I took my 15 year old step daughter who absolutely loves to fish. (Her 13 year old brother, not so much) We spent 6 hours on Chick Lake and between us caught 30 crappie and she caught her first flier. I tend to fish structure on the main lake and we had some luck in water around 8' deep throwing the Monkey Milk flavor of BGBS. (Bobby Garland Baby Shad) I also caught a few on a strike king pink body, chartreuse paddle tail.

We headed up one of the creeks later in the day and caught a bunch of males in water around 6' deep who had their tuxedos on which was pretty neat as I was explaining to her on the way up why the males get so dark. I showed surface water temp anywhere from 65-71 degrees. It was nice to get back out on the water.
