Bream - Yellow bass - Crappie

Been bream fishing to catch trotline bait - hoping a big ole flathead will swim near my shallow trotline - catching plenty of bream.

Shad all around my place and was hoping the crappie fish would be 'hot' but the dang yellow bass are everywhere (eating my shad) - so I catch them off my pier instead of crappie

Did manage to get 2 keeper crappie in last two days (and a few smaller ones) - they were not huge i.e. only 9-10". One of my neighbors got 2 keepers and another neighbor had 1 keeper - so we combined them for the 'newest neighbor' so he could have his first fish fry since moving here.

Baited trotline again tonight - but it's still in an unlikely place i.e. I'm still putting trotline in front of my house - instead of taking it to better place and I'm too lazy to run it at night i.e. I bait once before dark and check next day. Others that put their line in deeper (better) place at catching a few big catfish - but so far the big ones haven't found my house :)
