Been a while.

Had a great day at Nickajack. I have not fished in a while as my trolling motor has been in the shop for several weeks and I was waiting to get my new sonar transducer installed. I only fished around 4 hours before the heat ran me off. But during that time I caught a dozen shell cracker....8-10 inches.....and once the shell cracker bite quit I moved to new spot and caught a fish every cast for 3 hours! It was either a KY bass or crappie.....I would say around 25 KY bass and 60 or so crappie. The KY bass were mostly in the 11-12 inch range....all the crappie 11-12 inch. The Spots were really "Diggin".....used the Tict Mebaru UL rod strung up with SOS 2# test line and a Bison colored Trout Magnet on a 1/16 ounce ball head. Even the crappie gave a pretty good account of themselves using the UL and fighting them in a little bit of a current. I used my new Mega Imaging sonar today and what a great unit it is....I fished at two spots and the unit was the reason I fished those spots. I have included some images from the Helix 10 si. When I left the house this morning I really wasn't expecting much today because of the heat but it turned out to be a fantastic 4 hours! I have never really caught many crappie in the summer...I guess really because I don't target them. But this summer I have found a spot that is holding a lot of them. I left with the fish biting and hated to leave but the heat was really getting to me.....I might add I was the only nut out there in it....LOL. Life its good!
