I fished the morning of 11/14/15 at Black Hat.  Got started about 8 am.  Beautiful with a little sun and no wind. i worked a popper around from the launch to the first brush pile near the dam.  On the second cast with a TX-rigged worm, I hooked into a fish, and it was a decent crappie!  My wife loves those.  So I tried a small square-bill crankbait over the brush pile and proceeded to catch about 10 nice crappie from 11-15 inches.  Spent most of the morning going from marker to marker, and  caught crappie off of nearly all the brushpiles.  Fun—huge fish and really fought hard.

Bass?  I didn't get a bite on crank or TX rig or spinner.  i did catch 6 from dink to about 2.5 lbs (nice fish!) on a black senko near the banks, and lost a bigger one when i screwed around and let it get the line in the trolling motor prop.  Swung and missed on about 6 more.  I think I need a bigger hook on the senko.  3/0 loses too many.

Oddly, didn't see a single catfish, after catching them on about everything I threw last time.  Must have been the cool weather.

And then the winds came and I packed it in.  But Black Hat has now moved up my list of go-to lakes, especially for crappie!

Tight lines!
