Another pretty good night for Rhodhiss. Caught @ 40 between 9pm & 11:30.
All on minnows between 10 & 15'. Had minnow issues or woulda caught more.
My #1 supplier had none. Said he bought extra on tuesday, expecting a big weekend. By friday, all were dead. Went to a different store, & they had probably 500 dead, floating in the tank. Said they had new minnows under the dead ones. They had gotten a new shipment in friday morning & dumped them into the tank without cleaning it or removing the dead ones.
How smart is that ?????? Didn't think they'd last, but had no choice. Bought 10 dozen & by the time I anchored, 3 dozen were dead.
Ended up jigging dead minnows after 11 pm & caught 8 or 9 keepers.
Put two or three dead minnows on two other rods & dropped them to the bottom to see if Mr. Catfish my be hungry & ended up with 10 catfish to go with the crappie.

Way to make due.

Thanks guys, Rhodhiss has been good for numbers the last 5 weeks. Unfortunately, we dont have the size ya'll catch on High Rock & Jordan, but its been pretty good the last two years. Skeeterdude caught a 12 " crappie on the first minnow in the water & thats a trophy for us. Most fish run 8-10 inches here. Not a bad little lake for us "foothill fishermen".

sounds like a problem i had at jordan one time. turned out to be the best crappie nite ever. over 100 crappie all on stone dead minners. it was nice. glad zour catchin em. who is your supplier i had some problems before i left.

Hey Crowder ! Are you home yet ? Good to hear from you & hope the Alaskan summer was great. Might be outta your way, but I'm a big fan of the minnows from Blue Ridge Sports in Glen Alpine on Hwy 70, across the rr trax from the post office. Terry & Dottie seem to have bigger & livelier minnows than the stores in Rutherford College. Haven't had a problem all summer with their minnows. Very hearty.
