CRAPPIE ARE HITTING AGAIN

Bob reports that the Crappie are back and hitting strong at the Barge. They have been very consistent over the last two days hitting both jigs and minnows. Bass and Catfish have been solid as well. The rain may slow the bite down a bit, but they usually turn back on after the rain subsides.
