[FishNews]

Hal and I made it out for an early morning crappie fishing adventure. We caught 15 keepers, 14 throwbacks along with 2 smallies, 1 spotted bass, 1 golden shiner, 1 yellow bass and 2 bluegills. Same old lures that we always use, but the fish that we found were on a 12 count. We didn't find any shallow fish this morning. Probably be shallow this afternoon. Water temp was 60.1 when we quit around noon. We had a very nice morning, but the wind picked up some by 11:00 and it was 10-20 mph by noon. Glad we quit fishing when we did. emoBig emoGeezer
