I took BIGT with me today looking for specs.  They were at the same depth as last Thursday.  He had never done this type of fishing before and was excited to get there.

We wound up catching 30 crappie 26 of them were keepers.  We caught 12 walleye but only 2 measured.  We had 3 white bass and 2 blacks.  It was cold but the wind was light.  We are supposed to go back on Sunday.

I use braid with a fluro leader and rarely get the bait over 1' off the bottom.  I also prefer fairly stiff rods for the 1/4 oz which we are using.  Most of our bites are with authority, however, with mono it would not feel like the sharp smack we mostly get with the braid.

Nice haul Jig Man!
