Fished South Holston today for crappie. It was cold….some wind as well. Put in at 421 bridge and went upstream. Found crappie on the LCR unit on deep structure in about 20-25 feet of water. Crappie were suspended over the structure. We spent more than half our fishing time trying to locate the crappie then figure out something they would hit. We also picked up 8 big black crappie in about 15 feet over slate/shell slides below 421. We caught a total of 21 crappie, 2 walleyes and 2 smallmouth. Trolled small sassy shads. Also fished chartreuse/black tube baits on tight line. South Holston lake is “tough” now. Crappie will be much easier to take in a few more weeks when the weather warms a bit.
We are planning to go to Boone Lake on Friday Feb 3rd weather permitting.
We are planning to go back to Douglas tomorrow.
Good Luck……….
Pretty good for a rough day on the water.I plan on going to douglas friday
weather permitting.
