Slow day

Around 3PM - decided to try the fishing but didn't catch anything for about one hour - then it was a bream. Fished 55 more minutes without a bite - it was beautiful day - no wind - 62F - so why worry about catching fish

Then I saw some shad jumping and a cast into them produced a bass - but a little one so I was going to give up for the day and watch the 5PM news.

But then more shad were jumping in the brush pile so I decided to try one more cast - well it was a school of little crappie working the shad - I got 6 crappie in the next 30 minutes (and got at least that many more bites). But as fast as they showed up - they left by 5:30PM - besides it was getting cool and starting to get dark - so I stopped at 5:45

Summary: Just when you think that crappie are not biting - a school may show up (and tomorrow maybe it'll be a school with 'college size fish' instead of elementary school size fish - like today :) :)
