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.

Thanks Jeff !Go get 'em Man!

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...........
