Fishing Notes |

Today i took my wife and kids out trolling for crappie. We started in my cove here at the 23MM with only one bass to show for we headed to the main lake. Due to the heavy current being generated we kept our baits trolling in about 8-10 foot of water with the boat in 45-50 foot. All the crappie we caught were caught on the fronts of docks on the main lake, it seems they were suspended high underneath the dock foam and or cross bars of docks. we only caught five crappie off this one stretch of 5-7 docks in a row. we tried deep with no luck. it seemed today on the main lake the fish were right underneath the dock fronts. The water in this area of the lake is stained, so it makes sense that they are not as deep. The other day i fished the lower end(Dam) and its super clear, so the crappie tend to go deeper. we also caught about 5 bass and one 5 pound blue cat!! |
