12/10/2012 10:17:00 AMNice Bass, Is that boat launch in the back round of the second picture a private or public boat launch because when I fish long lake I usually have to launch at the state park or nine mile falls. If its a private launch do they charge a launch fee?

12/10/2012 2:14:00 PM@Slabman, the crappie were a mistake we were looking for bass. We did catch them in 40' of water.
@golsen24 The launch site is private it's called willow bay resort. You can launch there for $15.00. My oldest boy and I are having a great time even though it is getting colder. Don't know how much longer I will be fishing this year. My boy wants to be out on News Year day for the first fish of the year, even if it's a squaw. LOL

12/11/2012 7:33:00 AMNice smallie. We hit Long on Friday and although the fishing was slow we still caught a mess of crappie but still no smallies. Our crappie bites were extremely light how about yours?

12/11/2012 11:32:00 AMThank you everyone for the comments.. It was cold,, the air temp was 26-28 water was still 44.
we were dragging football heads in 40-50'. and the only way to detect the bites was when you lost bottom contact, that usually meant it was a fish.
