• JPP TN report

    The wife and I got up early after the 4th of July festivities and headed out to Percy Priest to give the crappie a try. We launched about 5:20 AM. We started out just doing some casting around a point in about 20 FOW due to all of the surface activity. After about 20 minutes with no results, we started trolling with 4 crank baits and 2 jigs off of planer boards. The water temp was around 87 to 88 degrees on the surface and we could see both bass and catfish busting shad on the surface. We caught 2 nice crappie on the first pass and then it slowed down a little. Then the crappie feeding frenzy got started and we caught 4 or 5 more pretty quickly. The crappie really liked a Bomber crank bait in a crawfish pattern, as evidenced by the picture below where a particular crappie practically inhaled the lure. We ended the morning early about 9:30 due to the heat and ended up with 13 nice crappie and a bonus channel catfish.
