    Tried a new, small lake just on the outskirts of the metro over the weekend. After some searching, trial and error- Found a ton of quality crappie, and a few HUGE gills thrown in with the mix. Small jig with 1″ gulp alive minnow 2′ under a rocket bobber did the trick! Very impressed with the quality for the location-

    Ryan-During the daylight hours, Sunny out- Up tight to shore 2-4fow. The day I went out when it was overcast and raining, they were in 10-12fow suspended half way down.

    Just found out they bite at night too

    I had my kids out an hour earlier, and the spot I was gill fishing was pretty slow, but they still had a good time! Mom drove seperate so she took them home when the sun went down and I informed her I wouldn’t be following…

    I can’t remember having more fun with a splash brite than I did tonight Snapped a couple pics when I got out of my fish catching stupor for a split second, was having way too much fun to think about taking anymore! One pic is on the sticker tape inside my boat- was catching as many as fast as I could with a lot of smaller fish as well as many bigger ones than I took pictures of. Didn’t ever get one real measurement or weight, after dark- they were all taken on a crappie minnow through the head instead of gulp!

    I wasn’t even going to begin thinking about cleaning fish tonight after this weekend- So every one of them took a big wet sigh of relief

    Looks like you found a gem. There are a lot of metro lakes I want to hit, but my partners are never open to it.
