Default Re: crappietastic weekend on the cong

great report.

Dropped the boat Sunday for the first time this year. She was not happy to be in 38 degree air and 42 degree water, cranky 2 strokes! Finally got her going and burned off all the winterizing crap but I froze driving around in that NW wind.

Hit the canal area and found a steady crappie bite on a pink/black crappie magnet 4' under the float. They wanted it slow. The bite was subtle. The float wouldn't even bounce it would just start moving. Caught about 50 fish with a few bigger ones mixed in. Largest was 12" and all were released for others to enjoy.



Did catch my first bass of the year. All 5" of it!



Looks like Spring finally arrives Thursday!
