Default Slower bite but better fish

hit lh at 6:30am Saturday.1st spot was all small perch and shiners so I moved to spot#2.first cast get a good crappie and figure I found them,wrong.i
caught a few more but had to really slow things down.after about a hour I went to my 3rd spot and started casting the small husky jerk,nothing.switched over to the jig and bobber and started catching small and medium crappies along with perch,sunnies,shiners and a small lm bass.fished until noon and went home to clean the house.around 4pm I headed back up the lake and started were I had left them biting.start catching crappie right away and they were bigger fish.had to work the bobber very slow with long pauses.they were
not cruching the jig like the last few trips.you really had to watch the bobber as some of the hits were so lite.left there around 7pm.sunday I was back up there at 6:30am.tried by the bridge and had fish right away.mostly perch and shiners with one slime dart around eighteen inches.the wind starts to pick up and is blowing right in my face so I say the heck with this and go to were I had them the night before.nice and calm and protected,perfect.first cast and
I get a nice twelve in crappie.next cast the same,another good one.you would catch two or three then there would be a 10-15 minute pause and you would
start catching again.all nice eleven to thirteen inch crappie.quit fishing around
noon and headed home.seemed like the water really cooled some.

Sounds like some quality fish and some good action. This wind lately has sucked! This week ain't looking any better either.

I hit Lh this weekend also for about 3 hours in the late afternoon. I got about 15 perch and a decent 14 inch largemouth. The fish were in tight to shore and were not aggressive at all. Had to move around to find the active fish. All caught on nightcrawlers and small shiners and one on a spinner
