• Report out of Georgia

    Put the boat in the water at daylight and found it to be just a perfect morning for fishing. Little to no winds, the sun beginning to peak out at daylight...



    ...then disappearing for the remainder of the morning. And...the fish was biting great too. Lots of singles, doubles, and triples, AND a lot of tangles too.

    Cant complain though as that is always a part of a good morrning of long lining.

    Fished about an hour and had 7 good fish in the 'well and 23 fish thrown back (total caught so far = 30 crappie).



    With that said....things got pretty busy. Lines pulled in every direction and poles a bending. Didn't take time for photos until a BIG tangle happened and I trolled off the fish and re-tied everything. Here's the count at 8:50AM...total 70 crappie caught with 14 of 'em in the live well...



    The fish were biting so good I just had to re-pull that same track for the third time. Camera was close by and Wasn't too many rods bending so I snapped a quick pic of a keeper fish..



    At 10AM....total caught was 90 crappie with 20 good fish in the box...



    Guys, for today anyway, I found the honey hole and aint telling where! HA!

    Don't think it will last long with the temps at where they are now but gonna take advantage of it again if I get a chance. Most fish caught in water 9' - 12' deep.



    Called it a day @t 10:30AM. Like already said, was a "perfect" morning and I don't expect this every day out the gate but certainly a memorable morning fishing. With fish in the box to clean and a garden to work a bit this afternoon I didn't want to spend all day on the lake. I might get another chance in the morning to fish...who knows right now though!

    Here's final tally of the day...78 crappie thrown back and 22 to bring home = 100 crappies caught.



    Here's the live well shot for today...

      What lake is that? Looks like Loch Ness? Big "dino" on the chart? Maybe it's true?
