<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Well my dedication finally paid off. Hit the dock this evening with my
4wt, full sink line, and a crappie candy. Caught a bunch of specs, the
largest 13". What fun! If I had a bucket or stringer with me, I would
have invited a few home for dinner.

The specs were finally where I thought they'd be....only a week late.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Yup, I think the cold front did it too.

I was using a size 8, yellow yarn body, white marabou tail, peacock
crystal flash wing, with small beadchain eyes, I have been omitting
the bottom wing. I also was using a full sinking line. I know from
my depthfinder, the area was catching them in is about 10ft, but they
were suspended probably at about 5ft.

I wish I had a bucket to put them in, they kind of caught me by
surprise and I didn't want to stop fishing to run up to the house to
get one.

Speaking of limits: We get (what I believe to be) folks that must
sell their catches. You will see them drift across the lake pulling
out fish after fish. 3 guys in a boat easily taking 75 fish...then
they change out coolers and start again. I am calling the FWC on
them if I see them again. I have to admit, however, that watching
them made me even more obsessed with catching specs.

Maybe tonight I will keep a few for the frying pan.
