Went fishing for a few hours. Windy but that’s when the fish were biting. A guy caught two 9 pounder lmb but we were only able to get a 2 pound crappie. Once the wind dropped the bite dropped off. Fun day of fishing

Several of the biggest crappie a friend and I caught yesterday casting Bobby Garland artificial bait on light jig heads. Love those dark spots on the males this time of year.
