    On a serious note id like to congratulate terrance. When he first showed up i thought he was a jolly sponsor trying to hang out with the crew. He’s become a good fisherman and very competitive.

    GB the medium diving crank bait just cover water It gets bits when nothing else will and a big night also! If you catch a good keeper then maybe slow down and throw a jig or something similar but my prioritie day one to get 5 put that crank bait in your hand and roll experiment with size of bait fish. I’m from north east Alabama I grew up on Weiss lake which is known as the crappie capital of the world! We have thredfin shad and no bull shad or gizzards so this time of the year with the days shorter fish naturally start associating with bait balls and always close to bait here there’s so many small 1.5 in to 3in shad you can go to backs of creeks place of some current and see more bait than the whole summer etc but I love the content and if your ever in Cherokee county Alabama I would gladly take you out and show your around the lake

Sometimes I'll ride along with a friend that has a boat but usually I'm hiking on the shore. I caught my pb large and my pb spot,....large 10.15 and the spot was 8.7
      I want to point out that new melones is always different never predictable.

Ive fished multiple 2 man boat derbys with a $400 entry fee (before you split it) and 1st place payout is $10,000, would love to know what 1st place pays in one of these tournaments. Also the overall cost to put on these tournaments should be much lower than a 100 boat tournament with a weigh in so where does all the money go fo the Yakabass derbys?
