    Default Bad start...great finish!


    Nephew and I started out at Dale Hollow looking for smallmouth. Not only did we not find the smallmouth cooperative we just about froze also. The weather man was off for the forecast up there and we were not dressed for the cold at all. So down the road we came and since we had to go by Center Hill we decided to stop and see if the fish wanted to play. The sun was out by then and it had warmed to 60 degrees. We caught crappie non stop....over 100 fish. Both of us were using Yamaga Blanks Blue Current TZ 6' 10" Jig Head Special UL rods. The line was 2# test SOS with a section of 2# test Phantom fluro leader. The lures were a Midnight Blue Dancer and a Mille colored Trout Magnet. If you look at the sonar image you can see why the action was non stop. Nothing like catching black nose crappie on UL rods and 2# test line. I did not keep any fish today...did not feel like cleaning them...LOL......life is good!

    Thanks for the comments guys. It is now officially April and my gasoline bill is getting larger....LOL. During April and May I burn up the roads going to great fisheries. The past two summers have only been so so for me. But if I can figure out how to shallow launch and load my boat, this summer should be filled with crappie...trout and bluegill. The ramp at my summer honey hole has a very shallow angle.......launching is not a big problem but loading is. Going to have to figure it out though. The drive is only about an hour and the fish are always there...water temps of 50-52 degrees year round.

    Regards
