Damita and I fished Black Hat from 2:30-7:30. Caught 18 of which 11 were crappie and 1 was a 4lb channel cat that Damita caught with a GoGo Minnow on an ultralight. That was a pretty good fight! The largest fish was a 2lb 14oz bass.
The water temp was 63 degrees and clarity of about 12 inches. Weather was almost pefect with a light wind until late.
Damita out fished me with her GoGo Minnow catching 12 to my 6.
Saw a beaver ( yes, beaver not a nutria. Had a big flat tail and was three times the size of a nutria) and several deer, (does and yearlings).
Lots of water vegetation made fishing some areas very difficult even with weedless plastics.
