31 crappie last night between me and the wife. most cought on minnows in brush piles 7ft of water fish about 4ft deep. did well on jigs too, but the strikes were better on the minnows. looks like the crappies are comming into the fall pattern, but the way the summer has been, maybe they've been in a fall pattern all summer.

Dave, I caught 23 last night 10-15 1/2 inchers in less than 3 hours, lots of throwbacks. That was enough for me. I am eating a few tonight. BC
