Additional_comments: Kinda slow, I guess the front that came
through
the past couple of days kinda made the bite slow. But the one's i
brought
home today all were 14" to 18" a lot better than i've been catching.
I guess the bigger females are getting ready for the spawn.

Caught
one little one. Went home and went to sleep about 8 a.m.; buddy picks
me
up at 1 to go back out. Only caught one nice keeper channel cat. We
fished
it all. I know what my Dad said about the east wind, but dang. It
wasn't
pretty out there. Both the crappie and the channel cat have been good.
We
ended up tinkering around on the boat this evening pretending today
didn't
happen
