Prospertown evening with Grandson
 
Grandson Chris and I hit Prospertown yesterday around 6pm for the evening glassoff. We fished the straightaway first and Chris caught a small Pickerel on his third cast. We had no other fish there so we walked to the dam. I switched to a clear casting bubble with a nymph/crappie jig combo. Got a Rainbow on the second cast. Chris got a small Crappie by the skimmer on a cast bubble/black-chartreuse crappie jig. There were plenty of boils in casting range so we proceeded to catch small Crappie every few casts. There was a huge watersnake that came over the dam that scared the sh$t out of us. When the dust settled we caught 20+Crappie, 1 Sunfish, 1 Pickerel, and 1 Trout. 6 Flags fireworks started as we got to the truck. What a perfect way to end the day. The black/chartreuse crappie jigs caught all but the Pickerel. Lots of bugs rising off the water with Bats and Martins feasting into the night. Might hit it again tonight.

Thank you for the report. Sounds like a great night to be out. I gotta throw a rod in my work truck. I’m down that way twice a week. Hmmmmm! :D
