Still not fully recovered (six more injections in my back on Monday) but a beatiful day beckoned so I limped around a local pond in hopes of some fresh fillets. Started out using a 2 inch paddletail (baitmold) and had success almost immediately caught 7 really nice crappie the largest of which went 14.5 inches. Switched up to a pearl 2.5 inch mo magic and caught 3 more crappie and 2 small bass. Finally tried a homemade panfish magnet (created by cutting the tail off of a 1.5 inch Thump it grub and splitting the body-yeah I am still playing with my baits, and caught a 10 inch red ear. Have another warm spell supposed to hit next week, hope to hit it again.
