Marvin and I launched safe light and headed straight to Cat Bay. Wind was decent 5-10 most of the morning with spells of dead calm. We fished 20-30 feet of water trolling double rigs no grubs tipped with minnows. We ended up with 15 crappie and 20+ bass. Three of the crappie were blacknosed 11" in length and returned to the water with 1 of black crappie 11" The 11 we kept were slabs all about 1.75 lbs. The bass were also released with a couple in the 2 lb. range. Off the water at 11:30. Side note got the minnows at Wild West. I bought 5 dozen received 8 or 9 dozen but 75% of them were the gold colored minnows. Crappie and bass did not seem to have a preference but I had never bought minnows with that many being golden. Usually just a couple mixed in.

Bruce,
Yeah we fished Sunday (out of our norm) but Marv had a side job and I had to attend a celebration of life event for a dear friend that passed on Saturday. We were both wanting to give Bartlett a try before the front moves in.
