Driving to Beaverdam this morning I was treated to a beautiful full moon. Upon arrival the parking lot was packed. Richard assured me that most, if not all, of the boat owners would be crappie fishing. Sure enough the spider webs were still in place between the cypress knees indicating no visitors. As we went down the bank we picked up some “grass bass” or fish caught on the edge of the saw grass. We were using the same craw type plastic as before. Richard did try a spinnerbait for a short time but went back to the plastic. It’s a good thing he did because he came up with this 6 3/4 FOD.

Fish bit for a while but then the lull came. We caught a few more but they started getting off after a short time. Richards plastic balled up on a few and I got caught asleep at the switch on a couple of bites. The fish seemed to be in cypress tree forts. They seemed to favor the middle of circles of trees and were quick to hit anything that landed in their spot. The trouble was, by hook or by crook, they were getting away. To make matters even worse I developed a bad case of the hangups. Poor Richard having to deal with that. Even so,we had a good time. We ended up catching a smooth dozen bass.
