We fished the Smoak Bridge from 11 till 5 pm today. Didn't do so well for numbers. We only managed five crappie and one hybrid. The hybrid was a three pounder and was a fun fight on 4 pound line. The crappie were few, but all were over 12 inches. We had caught our own live bait at a nearby river here in Valdosta. We were using 3 inch shiners. I think that may be the reason for the larger crappie. We didn't actually begin fishing for them properly until about 2 pm. They were deep and very lethargic. Had to put the minnow or jig right in front of their noses. I'm going back on Tuesday and hope to do better with a few adjustments.
I just finished cleaning the fish, and all the crappie had eggs in them. Not bursting with eggs, but definitely the first stages. FYI.
went to the ocmulgee today . that was the wifes choice . we did catch a mess of catfish . just got through eating them . she will be working next weekin so i will make my own choice where i will go .will see what the weather brings
