Thread: Lake Russell 04/13

Fished from 8:15PM till 11:15PM. Set up in 32' of water that was 61 degrees. Caught a few fish I caught off a float about 4' deep at the edge of the light and the rest on tight lines @ 11' deep. Nothing big....had 4 or 5 that went a lb. a piece and the rest smaller. The last fish I caught made an even limit....30 crappie. Nothing at all to brag about but at least they beat the "3" I caught from 2 hrs. of fishing a week ago yesterday.

30 fish in 3 hours--I'll take that any day--or nite

Not a bad catch at all. I was hoping the weather was going to be better this weekend, but I guess that's not going to happen.

Sounds pretty to good to me. My minnows are getting getting car sick from riding back and forth to the Lake.
The only thing I caught were potato chips. There were 2 boat under the bridge they said they were catching a few what ever that means. And 4 more up where the trees starts in Coldwater. I loaded up at 10.00 oclock. had to work today.
I do beleive I'm messing up by not going back into the trees andy further the I do.

catching the limit is agreat showing. i dont know when the last time ive limited out. i dont go much by myself and usually have 3 or four in my boat and very very seldom do we limit out, especially when we fish the weekdays when we have to go in early so the guys can get some shut eye before work. the closest ive come to a limit was when me and ot went striper fishing the other day and caught 19 out of a limit of 20. no matter how much i fussed at ot, we just couldnt wring that final fish out of the water before quittin time..
