    Fished sunday for most of the day.  19 keepers, all nice fish.  Most came on fallen trees in 4-5 of water.  Did catch some nice ones close to dark trolling.  Only 2 fish to small to keep.  No eyes.

    28 keeper crappies on Monday between the 2 of us.   All were in 8-10 feet of water relating to structure or in deeper water to 17 feet, but suspended at 8-10 feet.   Most crappies from the Celery Farm still had eggs.  Most caught in other areas did not have eggs or were males.   The popular baits were red/white tube jig + nibble or plain minnows.

    Good job Chauncy.  I wish we could run into you one of these days, but opportunities have been miminal with travel and other events plus the rotten May weather we had.   I'll bet most of what you took Tuesday were in somewhat deeper water too?   You did good behind that front----back down to 40 degrees last night again!

    14ft water. They were suspended tho. Anywhere from 6 to 8 ft deep. I just kept raising my jig up until i found where they were feeding. Saw lots near bottom too. Changed colors at least 10 times til i found one they hit consistently. That'll change again next trip.

    Hey Chauncy, nice to have met ya finally. How did you fair? The morning bite sucked but did pick up in the afternoon. A total of 10 bass, all around 16-18 inches.

    Not too bad. I C&R a limit of crappies but kept a dz for the neighbor. Those are some nice size bass you got. I stayed out all day. Man was it nice out there.
