Shoot I hope I catch a few like that tonight at the Tourney on the Ohio !!! Nice fish , I ain't caught one quite that big on crappie gear but right after ice out I did hook into a few . I even caught several on the ice !
I took this out of Shoals Creek on 4lb test line last week while fishing for crappie. Thought I was hung up at first.

When I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations I have a good day
So far, I have caught a 12 pound and a 11 pound channels on my crappie rigs so far. Neither put up a big fight as they could have busted my lines easily. Catching a big cat on a "sensitive" 12 foot crappie pole is a lot of fun!
Nice one. Him and a few fritters would really hit the spot.

man, I bet I caught at least 25 catfish in 2 hours Wednesday evening in Shoals Creek. Had 7 crappie in between all those catfish. One catfish was about that size. Pretty fun on a 12 foot limber rod with 6 pound test. Never can get the slime off my line or off the carpet!!!!

Jim, I noticed Hardy Lake is on your tournament schedule. If you are going to fish that tournament let me know and I think I can put you on a couple good spots. I lived less than 1/2 mile from that lake in the late 80's and early 90's and spent most evenings and weekends on it. I'm sure conditions have changed but unless the old creek channel has moved the Cats should still be there. One of the best spots, you could almost stand on the main ramp and cast to (after the ramp traffic is gone, about 11:00 p.m. or so). Another good spot is the long point that forms the left side (if you are standing on the beach) of the beach area. If you are going to fish that tournament let me know and I'll be a little more descriptive in e-mail.Originally Posted by DmDuck

I'll be there with bells on ...LMAO ! Actually that's kind of one that I have in my mental win bracket , there's some great fishing down by the island too if you can get past the dang timber without hanging up / ripping a hole in your boat/ or shearing a pin !!
I'd appreciate a hot spot or two Thanks !! Thought of you last night at the pre fish meeting ...Ol'Boy was kicked back in his 18' pontoon , I just laughed , those things make one heck of a fishing platform .

Are you talking about the island down by the dam? The one on the left side if you are facing the dam?Originally Posted by DmDuck
Starting next Friday I'm gonna kick back on my 24'er for about 4 days and a couple of nights if I can get my lighting system done. I think I have found one place where I can anchor in one spot and ambush Crappie, Redear, and Channels.
