Muskrat, Chick, crappie - smallmouth - cat, 4-8-11, solo

What ? A few clouds…and no wind this morning ? Alright ! I&#39;ve been waiting for a day like this to go out for awhile. I wanted to go to Wolftever but I knew it was out of the question so I fished some areas around Harrison Bay. The water is up and warming back up…61-62 degrees. I fished from 9:30 until 1:00 and caught most of my fish in about a 45 minute span in the same place. I was sitting in about 20 ft. of water catching a variety of fish in about 3-5 ft. around some fallen trees next to a point. It started with a small crappie then a channel cat, a little smallie, then some larger crappie. They were mostly hitting jigs on a float about as soon as I would start reeling it in. It was fun while it lasted then it seemed to quit after the sun popped out and the wind picked up. Total was 8 crappie, one smallie, one channel, two yellow bass. I used some of my new BG jigs that I&#39;ve added to my crappie arsenal and caught my large crappie of the day (1.9 lbs.) on a Mo Glo scent wiggl&#39;r - a &quot;Blue Ghost&quot;.<br /><br />I finally got me an old &quot;small&quot; bass boat to fish out of instead of my pontoon which is almost impossible to fish out of sometimes. The pontoon is very comfortable - but not very practical for bass and crappie fishing. I&#39;m hoping to get it in the water sometime early next week and start fishing Wolftever for starters once it clears up. All I need is the &quot;butt&quot; seat and the foot control trolling motor up front and I&#39;ll be a happy camper. I&#39;m sure Debbie is going to miss the enclosed porta-potty when she&#39;s out with me though. I guess we&#39;ll be leaving the coffee at home.emoPoke
