    Default Ky Lake 10/14/17


    As I woke up at 5am Saturday morning and looked at the TVA app, it said they were pulling only 12,000 cfs and a small rise occurring. So, I got dressed and made my 0.6 miles trek to the ramp. I'm lovin' our camper!!!
    I had gotten some minners and had planned on some recon and R&D since I hadn't spider rigged since early June, but I was loaded for bear.
    I had already made my mind up on a location to begin, and the dawn thirty ride was breath taking. As I approached I began doing some scanning and noticed the water temp which was 69.8 degrees. I decided on my starting depth range, swung the nose around, and began putting out the rods. Before I could get all 8 rods out, and tipped with a minner or nibble, I already had caught 2 crappie and hoping that this trend would continue. By the end of the outing, my shorts clicker said 74, and my keepers clicker said 13. Total count = 87
    Now, my shorts are anything under 11 inches. So, if I had been keeping legal fish, I could had been back on the trailer with a limit of fillets and sitting at the camper by 9am.
    Regardless, I didn't have a limit, but 13 feeshes all over 11" is a great day in my book!! They all taste the same with that golden brown outer coat!!
    Fall is here!

    Great idea on the size limit. Did the same thing at Okeechobee last winter, set the boat size limit to 12". You get to fish longer and get a better bunch of fish (not just numbers) if you are on them.

    If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Col 3:1
