We made it out to one of my favorite Metro Area lakes tonight, I will not disclose the name of the lake because it is very small and can not handle a lot of pressure.

It was me, my 4 year old Alex and my mom and dad, we made it on the water by 6pm and fished until 9pm. A lot of very nice Crappies were caught by everyone, we ended up with 4 limits of Crappies and 11 decent Sunnies, the Crappies ranged from 10" up to 13" and the Sunnies were all 9" that we kept.

My son had a blast, he prefers to catch the little tiny fish though, we had plenty of snacks for him and made him comfortable enough that he wanted to stay longer, he did ask if we could go back when he wakes up in the morning.....

All fish were caught in 14 FOW about 6-8 feet down on red/white tube jigs tipped with waxies or gulp, most of the fish were caught right under the boat with only a few coming in casting.

I'll be in the chatroom very soon, I'll try in the next day or so before I leave for Dallas, I've just been too busy lately with grad parties, baseball and softball and being in Phoenix for 2 weeks.

We are way over due in making a huge pyramid, but I'll bet that bonehead and a few others have kept up there end of the bargain.

I have a friend driving up from Iowa tomorrow and were both flying to Dallas on Sunday evening, we'll definitely do our part in a 10 base pyramid tomorrow night and just may be able to share some with you all in the chatroom.  ::cheers::

Oh, by the way thanks for the nice comments and I'm sure glad Alex looks like me and not the Fedex driver!  :gunsmilie:
