    Default Various reports from the last few weeks


    Just now getting a chance to post my reports:

    Fished this past Friday with my Dad.....Started out at Shoals Creek (below the G'ville dam) from 645 - 945, water level and clarity was great - the fishing was not too great tho. We caught maybe 6 with 2-3 keepers (11+ inches). Water was 59.5 degrees in the back of the creek and 64 degrees at the mouth of the creek. All fish caught on jigs (BGBS - Blue Thunder) except 1 I caught on a minnow.

    We packed up and shot docks at Honeycomb from 10:30 - 11:30, thinking the sun would push them into the shade - we had ZERO success.

    We packed up and went to Cotaco and fished from 1:30 - 4:30 and did good considering the wind was pretty awful. We caught maybe 10 with 6 keepers. Fish were caught in 2-6ft of water and were close to structure. All fish were caught on jigs (BGBS - Blue Thunder).

    Also, we fished Smith Lake about 2 weeks ago when the water was 76-78 degrees. Caught around 5-6 the first night and 10 the second night with the biggest being 1.7lbs. Smith Lake has some of the healthiest crappie I've ever caught. They seem to have all the minnows and shad they want, so they seem to be very selective on when they want to take the bait....the fish those particular night wanted nothing to do with minnows and all were caught on various jigs.

    Sounds like you have been hard at it. Glad you're having some success.

    Thanks for sharing Max. Look forward to seeing you on the water again.

    Fishing has slowed for me. I am a moron and went back to work

    Man yea way to stay after them. Smith crappie are the most frustrating fish I've ever tried to catch. One night you smoke them, the next night with the exact same conditions won't even consider biting.

    Those kind of trips are when you learn a lot about the water you're on. Way to stay after them. I've found the freezer fills up way faster than you think when you keep hitting those ten fish trips on a regular basis.

    So true Bob, I always learn more on the bad days. Good days are easy and you want to looking if you are catching
