Kayak Trip Report, Duck River Reservoir

I took off work today to do a little fishing and decided to drive down to Cullman and give Duck River a try (hoping to find somewhere out of the wind). I couldn't get an eight pound anchor to hold a 12 foot kayak, crazy bad wind. The good news is after about 30 minutes I got on a pattern of catching scattered Crappie and gills about 6 to 8 foot deep in 10 to 12 feet of water. All fish came off a spinner with a 1/32oz Chartreuse Marabou jig fished very slow. I kept a limit of Crappie and gills and returned many, many more. The water was 62 degrees at daylight and had warmed to 65 by 3PM, visibility of about 2 feet.
