I was out wading on JPP from 4:30-6:30 today. Ended up doing fairly well.
Caught 18 crappie, 7 were legal size, 14 small bluegills, 15 yellow stripe most were small, a few decent size, 1 small hybrid, and 10 white bass. One of the white bass measured 16 inches. Yes it was a white not a hybrid or striper. Today I kept the 7 crappie and the large white. Didn't take any pictures, just wanted to get them cleaned quickly.
All fish were caught on 6.5' light rod, number 10 reel, 4lb. test, 1/16 oz. black.chartreuse jig.
Well, now I need a new electric filet knife. My 20 year old American Angler MT3 wore out while cleaning today. Opened it up and found the two metal gears completely wore down. Over the years, that knife was a work horse, and now I've discovered they don't make them any more. It was hard going back to a hand knife to clean the last few fish.
Tomorrow with the warm weather, fishing should be good.
