Debbie and I haven't done much fishing over the winter, life sometimes seems to get in the way of fun :-) Today, we hopped in the truck and ran out to Moccasin Creek, just off Hwy 97, east of Zebulon. We bank fished a bit, and caught a few black crappie, I foul hooked a small bass, and the biggest that day was a 5lb 2oz female. It looked like she was working the bed, notice her tail. It was surely pre-spawn, she was fat! The water was COLD, around 41 deg, they were moving slow and on the bottom. The bass were caught on a Z-man chatter bait with a silver fluke trailer...literally laying on the bottom. They weren't chasing anything. The crappie were on a beetle spin / micro rig with a smokey shad grub, Here's a few pics...
