Do to some stuff going on at home I couldn't make the AZCA Plez trip so I decided to make a quick run to Bartlett. I trolled grubs and cranks up river from 2:30 pm to 6 pm through a major moving flotilla of drunken lake lice. You know, the kind that play terrible music, don't know what "no wake" means, and pass by you close enough to cast a 1/32 oz jig to.
Ended up with 8 Crappie, 3 bass and 2 little cats. The Crappie were smaller but hit the baits like a freight train. The Lavander Shad Wally Marshall cranks did the best. The fish were in shallow water (12 to 20') about 10' below the surface.
On the way out I passed lots of boats coming in. From what I hear the night bite is really good right now. But that's the last time I try to fish it during the day on a weekend during the summer. Dang place was worse than Sag on a Saturday.
