Hammered 'em

12.9" Glow Demon & Minnow
9:15PM-12:15AM GOMH SE SW
Conditions: 39-31℉, Clear sky's bright moon, Calm

After the disappointing trip on Rock, I got home, got the dogs fed and reloaded.

I arrived at the GOMH and the Bullhead Boys were back.  They caught a 23" sucker and a small dogfish, unfortunately.  They had been there for about an hour and were the only ones around when I got there.  They were fishing off the Northside. I went to the SE side.  I got a bite after about 10 minutes and it was a good one.
11.5" GD & Minnow
 I continued to get a bite about every 10 to 15 minutes.  The 12.9" was the second fish.  I also got an 11.5, 11.25, and a 10.25".  I was getting the bites out.  I decided to give the SW side a try.  The Bullhead Boys had gotten a couple.  I got a 9.75" on the first cast.  I then lost 4 consecutive minnows to fish.  I caught 4 more pretty quick (10, 10.25, 11.75, 11.5).  Then it got slow for a while.  I eventually got back to the juice and caught them until I left getting 6 more and missing several bites (9.75,8,11,11,10.5,11.75")  They wanted an active minnow.  I left them biting.
I got home and cooked crappies and stuffing.  Yum!

16 Crappies

I reached my goal of 300 crappies for the year.  I currently am at 303.
