Default crappietastic weekend on the cong

a buddy and i hit the cong by river styx bridge this weekend and crushed the crappies. we caught good numbers and some of them were over 14" the majority of them were in the 6 to 12" range. we got them on live bait and jig-n-bobbers. we fished jigs two ft under bobbers. the fish wanted the offerings slow, we would reel then pop the bobber then let it rest and it was game on. we also got one rainbow and a bunch of sunnies. the best part no slime darts i fished sunday in the north end of the lake with no love then went to fish another spot and met up with my friend and a friend of his and we went back to the same spot we fished on sat and crushed em again using same method. not as many fish as sat but bigger fish. it was a great time spent with good people. the key was to fish the skinny water. with the up and down temps we have had this month you had to find them in coves with weeds that were greener than other spots around the lake. all fish were released to fight another day.
