Ya, for sure, good catch'n as always.  I would say you defiantly got them dialed-in in your neck of the woods!

There's plenty of chartreuse growing on that slab crappie.  Love the lid you're wearing!

Nice pair of fish, Jeffrey.

Good luck John and I agree........we often get big temperature swings from cold fronts but anytime water temps are steady in the 60s you can bet the fishing will be good........you're having a good year and I hope it continues John!

 Jeffrey i am anxious to see the water tempo at 65-60 and anticipate some Crappie and hopefully Perch catches and meals fairly soon .

Thanks John.......we are now seeing night time air temps in the 60s and even a few 50s sprinkled in so I'm getting excited about our Fall fishing...........
