Another good day on the water. I thought the white bass was a crappie! Was ready for the taxidermy!!! Pink is still hot. Caught a couple on plastic also. Water temp is now 55 and the eggs are getting a little bloody.

Nice catch, congrats. Pink and purple is a good color combo. How you like the new touch lowrance, thinking about getting the 7 with side.

Thanks Stump....Had them for several years first was HD Gen1 now I am on HD Gen2 touch. Really nice. I side scan in the mornings and split with down scan and hunt for fish and then catch them!! My suggestion is to play a lot on the water and set side scan and leave it so you can study. I generally only run 50ft.
If you have never used one......you can see individual fish with downscan and sidescan. Unbelievably technology.
I convinced my buddy this morning to seal the deal. If you are a hummingbird man the link to mapping programs is a step ahead. I would suggest to purchase the Dr. Sonar DVD's and I originally took them on the boat with a laptop to quicken the curve. DVD's are well worth every penny.
I put a Rosey Clear Coat on the jig head and went natural head for that jig......

Nice mess of crappie and that bonus white. They sure can pull. Pink has been hot here for several years now.
