There was a big school of fish rising out on the point in front of some other fisherman out there. Was hoping they would move over towards us so we could get a chance at em or wait it out since I knew those guys were close to limiting out. While we were waiting I managed to hook up once throwing a crappie jig under a bobber, but it snapped right as I got it close to shore. It was pretty dead for us for a good hour or more after that. I missed one more hit and Deni missed one doing the same thing I was. All of my friends I brought got kinda bored and began playing frisbee with the top off of a chip can. It was like watching a bunch of 6 year olds being bored when fishing was slow, but it was way funnier since were all in our early 20's lol. While they were playing around I noticed my friend Ryan's rod was doubling over and I told him, "Hey Ryan you got a bite bro." He looked over and quickly ran over and picked his rod up.

Nice chunky
After a while a few people limited out and Garrett and I moved in on their spot. Garrett quickly proceeded to catch a couple and lose probably about 7 or so. After seeing Garrett catch a few and miss close to a dozen a fisherman next to us was getting jealous and casted over the top of our bobbers a few times, very obviously on purpose and we had our little argument. Guy was just pissed off cause were just a bunch of dumb ass kids who were catching fish and they weren't. Fun times. This guy even at one point tired walking over to me to get in my face and I didn't say it, but I gave him that look like really? Are you going to really try to do something like that when I have 6 other friends here with me. One of which who stands at least 6'6". You ain't doing nothing man. Don't know why he wanted to cast towards us anyways there were way move fish jumping right in front of him. Eventually he left and we took their spot and fishing went off for us after that. Everyone got rigged up with crappie jigs and we went to town on the trout.
Ashayla wasn't fishing and requested my

Brian and Ashayla didn't fish today cause they couldn't afford license's, but as you can tell Ashayla had a blast taking all of the pictures and Brian is a guy who also just loves being outside.
What worked today:
-Chartreuse and pink powerworms
-Rainbow powerbait
-Crappie tube jigs with 1/16th ounce jig heads in various colors, White, black/yellow, green, yellow, red, etc. It didn't really matter what color it was.
-Procure shad scent made a difference.
We stayed until it got dark, landed probably close to 40 fish between all of us. Did a lot of C&R today and kept close to 15 for dinner for everyone tonight. Took a while to get on the fish, but it was worth the wait for when we did. Fishing was great, company was even better. Even with the craziness of combat fishing we still all had a blast. I can't wait to get all of these guys on shad this summer.
Till Next Time Guys
Mark
