Wow !!!
The cool-down we had three weeks ago seemed to get our crappie moving towards a fall pattern and even though it's felt a lot more like July around here lately than September the crappie are still biting fairly well and bunching up in a few spots.
In spite of east breezes, highs in the mid-90s and surface temps climbing back into the mid-80s the last two days we caught a few fish and some nice sized ones.
My crew yesterday:
The biggest one was a 15.5-inch/2-pound Black Crappie
Carlos' mess from yesterday:
Biggest was a 17-inch/2-pound White Crappie
My Crew today:
Biggest was a 16-inch/2-pound,2-ounce Black Crappie
Carlos' crew today:
We're catching them primarily on Rosy Red Minnows and Shiners but we've caught a few including the Walleye today on hair jigs tipped with minnows. They're still pretty scattered on depth - anywhere from 8 to 20-feet.
The Kentucky Bass are hitting crawfish worked off the bottom on rocky points in 5 to 20-feet of water.
Wow !!!

Hope the pace holds up until next month. I`ll give it a shot in October. Nice mess of fish.
Nice mess's of fish!!!!!!!!

Hey Greg:
The Fall Feeding Frenzy should be in full swing while you're here. The lake level is down quite a bit but the Power Company's web site is showing no power generation next week so I'm hoping they're done dropping it for now.
All we need is some cooler weather to get the water temps falling and the action will get HOT!
Great news thanks Jerry you the Man.
Good looking pics of the catches. Some cool weather will get em fired up around here also. Thanks for sharing the pics and report.

Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
nice job jerry
Looking good Jerry. I am spending the weekend of Oct 8 through 11 down your way. I can't decide if I want to stay at Kirby or Daisy. You still doing a lot of fishing up Bear Creek?? That might influence my decision.
